Cost: General Admission
This day-long event offers badges for Cadettes, Juniors, and Seniors, but all Scouts are welcome to come and work towards their Citizen Legacy goals. These workshops focus on becoming an engaged citizen through learning about how government works and your civic responsibilities. Join us at the Kentucky Historical Society to earn your next badge or hop around workshops to complete goals towards a badge of your choice.
Daisies will discover what makes Kentucky unique. Brownies will learn about our democracy, while Juniors and Seniors will gain insight into the inner workings of our government. Cadettes will explore civil debate and the importance of compromise, while Ambassador Scouts will delve into public policy on multiple levels.
Scouts in Action fulfills all of the following badge requirements: Inside Government (Junior-level), Democracy for Brownies, Finding Common Ground (Cadets), and Behind the Ballot (Seniors). However, we encourage Scouts of all ages to explore how state and national government operates—and what they can do to help their government, too!
