Group Scout Visits
Tours and Hands-On Programs for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of All Ages!
The Hiller Aviation Museum is pleased to offer guided tours and hands-on programs to Scouts at all levels. These tours and programs give Scouts the opportunity to experience aviation in a new way. BSA Scouts and Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies and Juniors may wish to consider joining a Merit Badge or Girl Scout program for a more comprehensive program relevant to their advancement requirements. Reservations are required for all tours and programs and must be made at least two weeks in advance.
