Brandt has a scout patch he began work on a month or so ago when he went with the Webelos to the Bean Museum. It's a life science patch. They had to see a live animal show which they did as a den, but they had to go back for a second visit and fill out a form with all sorts of questions and observations. Brandt has been asking if we could go again, and I agreed we could go this afternoon. We took Paul Moreland (he needed to work on his patch too!) and Ellen Mason, because an outing is always funner with a friend.
We wandered all over the museum. A museum worker came by us pulling the fur cart, a cart full of samples of all sorts of fur and skin. We had to guess which animal the fur belonged to based on texture and color. We all liked the touching part! Brandt and Paul were able to finish up the worksheet, and came away from our visit with patch in hand. We did a bit of howling, then stopped for ice cream at the creamery on the way home, because really, what museum visit is complete without a treat afterwards? Or howling?
