March Scout Month

March 7–March 29, 2026 • Days & Times Vary • In Person • $65 per scout

Scouts can get their hands dirty and earn a badge at AMOCA’s Scout Month Workshops!

This program was developed to help scouts reach individual badge requirements in art and pottery. Participants learn about the technical, historical, scientific, and aesthetic aspects of ceramics.

Come as a group or sign up as an individual!* At the conclusion of the workshop, scouts will qualify to receive a sign off for their merit badges.

Free admission for two chaperones per group is included. AMOCA patches are available for purchase for $5 in the AMOCA Store.

All materials and tools are provided. We recommend wearing clothes that can get a bit muddy or bringing your own apron.

*Scout month is also open to non-scouts. If your child would like to delve into ceramics this March, they are also welcome to join the fun!

Things to know:

• Parents and leaders work with their groups. Free admission for up to two chaperones per group is included. Scout groups that include ages 11 and under MUST be accompanied by at least 1 chaperone.
• AMOCA patches are available for purchase for $5 in the AMOCA Store.
