Boy Scout Activities
Cub Scouts Scout Patch: Museum of Natural History Walk
 Explore the Utah Museum of Natural History and earn a Boy Scout patch! Learn about fossils, minerals, Utah’s indigenous cultures, and the local fauna. Gaze into the jaws of a T-rex skull, learn about many of Utah’s large mammal predators, and see human artifacts that pre-date written history. Along the way, find the answers to complete your Museum of Natural History Walk patch requirements. Pick up a form at the Museum Admissions desk. When you've completed the form, take it to the local Boy Scout office for your patch.
Scout Troop Leaders can download Educator Curriculum Guides for gallery and exploration activities. These are located under Teacher Resources .
