Join us on October 3, 2026, for a day of hands-on exploration! Scouts will discover how children of the 1830s used skills that Scouts still practice today—from teamwork and problem-solving to outdoor skills, making, exploring, and helping others. Enjoy special drop-in activities, included with admission, or sign up for hands-on workshops! (Image Courtesy of Old Sturbridge Village)
