We had quite a few attend Scout Day at the Franklin Institute. And while the Franklin Institute wasn’t quite as organized as it had been in the past, all of the scouts had a great time. We had a few families spin off on their own and a few others spun off into smaller groups. For as packed as the institute was at times, along with the varied interests it seems that this worked out great.
The Jurassic World exhibit was pretty impressive and the dinosaurs were very realistic. The best part is that the animatronic dinosaurs we encountered were life-sized. I hope some of you took pictures as the imagery and surroundings in this exhibit were amazing
The Robot Revolution exhibit, wasn’t as exciting as many of the robots were getting recharged or repaired — but that didn’t stop the scouts from playing 21 and tic-tac-toe with robots, watching robots play soccer, try their hand at some simple programming, or putting together some cube robots.
The scouts in attendance, while traveling through the rest of the exhibits were able to knock out the following requirements:
- Tigers: Sky Is the Limit Adventure Requirements 4, 5, 6, 8
- Bears: Super Science Adventure Requirements 1, 2, 3
- Wolves: Air of the Wolf Adventure Requirements 1C, Motor Away Adventure Requirements 1A and 1B
- Webelos/AOL: Adventures in Science Adventure Requirements 2 and 3D
Please be sure to bring the worksheets provided. Also let us know which standard exhibits you hit as well because we are going to skim through the handbooks to see what other requirements may have been completed along with the above.
