Scout Programs
GIrl Scouts and Boy Scouts of all ages can have fun learning experiences while earning arts and crafts badges/patches at the Figge Art Museum. A guided tour of the Figge's permanent galleries and traveling exhibitions begins each workshop.
To Register: Please call 563.326.7804 x 2006. Registration is required 2 weeks before the scheduled event, at which time payment is due. A minimum of 15 Scouts per workshop is required, and there is a maximum of 50 Scouts (40 Daisy Scouts) per workshop. Scouts have the option of combining 2 or more troops in order to reach the minimum number required for a workshop.
Fees: Fees vary according to the activity and the materials needed to complete the workshop. Museum admission is included in each workshop fee. Where applicable, the badge/patch earned by the Scouts is also included in the workshop fee. Adults accompanying the Scouts will not be charged any fees (Scout leaders who personally complete each of the art projects designed for the workshops will be charged the same workshop fee assigned to each Scout.) Sorry, we cannot give refunds.
Scout Leaders: Leaders are required to attend the workshops with their Scouts. Adults accompanying the Scouts will be asked to help in facilitating the activity; this is a fun learning experience for everyone! The creative process can be messy so please dress appropriately! Scout leaders are encouraged to bring snacks/drinks for their troops. All snacks must be eaten in the studios - no food or drink is allowed in the galleries. Scout leaders can take pictures in the studios as Scouts create their art works.
