Oceanography Merit Badge Summer Scouting Adventure

Summer Scouting Adventure

Saturday: July 25 and August 8, 2026

Scouts BSA youth are invited to earn their Oceanography Merit Badge at the Maritime Museum of San Diego by attending one of these engaging Saturday classes. Each session runs from 8:00am to 1:00pm, and scouts need only attend one class to be able to complete the badge requirements.

This unique program gives local scouts a chance to dive deep into oceanography—right in the heart of San Diego's waterfront. Through a dynamic mix of field work, hands-on lab activities, and thought-provoking discussion, this Summer Scouting Adventure will immerse participants in the many branches of oceanographic research.
