February 15, 2025 | 12 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Take advantage of an exciting partnership between the W. D. Boyce Council, the Peoria Riverfront Museum, the Caterpillar Visitor Center and Museum, and other downtown Peoria venues. In this afternoon-only event, Scouts can earn one of a wide range of merit badges, some not commonly offered, but made available here thanks to the resources and expertise of our hosts!
Scouts can register and attend individually, but units are encouraged to travel together. Field ("Class A") uniforms are preferred so you can show how your Scout spirit "Plays in Peoria!"
