(Registrations for Clinics must be mailed with payment, but registrations for Open Houses can be mailed or e-mailed.)
General Information
Open Houses
Large-scale events with activity stations set up throughout the museum. Leaders and parents guide their Scouts through the activities at their own pace. Registration is required and can be done by mail or phone. Only pre-registered Scouts are guaranteed supplies. Include payment with registration or pay at check-in on the day of the Open House. See listings below for more information.
Clinics
Small-group programs where Museum staff guide Scouts and leaders through activities and provide in-depth coverage of related topics and exhibits. Scouts arrive at the Clinic’s start time and stay until it ends. They also bring bag lunches to have while at the Museum. Registration is accepted by mail only, and full payment must be included. See listings below for more information.
Tours
Meet scouting requirements and electives by exploring Waukesha County’s past. The Education Dept. will work with your group to provide a program that meets requirements and complements your group’s focus. Tours last one hour; tours with a craft last an hour and a half.
