D-Day Museum
Dear Scout Leader:
The National World War II Museum introduces a new Boy Scout related initiative -
our Scout Law Scavenger Hunt! A unique way
to teach the Boy Scout Law and explore the enduring lessons of World War II at
the same time.
The Hunt has specific questions (for them) and answers (for you) related to each
Character trait so you can double-check your Scout's progress in the museum. In
addition, we have asked inquiry-type questions at some stops encouraging Scouts
to ponder the larger issues of World War II.
Please feel free to copy and use the attached PDF anytime your Troop visits our
facility! Call our Group Sales office now at 504-527-6012 x 222 to book your
Troop's visit.
Questions/comments about the Scavenger Hunt and or our Boy/Webelos Scout
initiatives? Please feel free to contact me.
Best wishes,
Walt Burgoyne
