This special program is offered by the Maritime Museum Education Department Saturdays, June 15, July 27, and August 10, 2024. We invite Scouts BSA youth to enroll and earn their Oceanography Merit Badge through attendance at one of three classes held on three Saturdays at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. Classes will run 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Scouts must complete one class to earn their Oceanography Merit Badge.

The program gives local scouting youth the opportunity to more deeply explore the ocean that is so integral to the San Diego community. By combining field work, laboratory observation, and scholarly discussion, Oceanography Merit Badge Days at the Maritime Museum of San Diego allow scouts to become fully immersed in the multiple branches of oceanographic research.

The Maritime Museum of San Diego hosts A Songwriter’s Serenade summer concert featuring an evening blend of acoustic singer/songwriter talent Friday, August 2nd from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. performing aboard the elegant Victorian-era 1898 steam ferryboat Berkeley. The audience will enjoy an evening of Pop, Folk, Alternative and Americana music genre performances featuring longtime Maritime Museum of San Diego leader, curator, muse and master songwriter Mark Montijo, professional and songwriting power duo Stucky Leigh and international performing songwriter, maker of movies and music Gregory Page.
