Scout Badge Workshops: Earn a variety of arts badges at the Michener!

Scouts of all ages can earn a variety of visual arts and arts related badges at the Michener Art Museum. We schedule workshops every season. You may also call to schedule a private program, tailored to address your scout troops' specific needs.

All Scout Badge Workshops are held at the Doylestown Michener, and are taught by experienced Michener Art Museum faculty.

Workshop fees are $12 per child. This fee includes gallery admission, special exhibitions and all art materials for the studio projects. One chaperone for every six scouts is admitted free. Additional chaperones are admitted at a reduced admission rate of $5.50 per person. For each date, choose a session from those listed below.

Maximum number of students per time slot is limited. Please book early. Embroidered scout badges are on sale at our gift shop for an additional $3 per child.
