My family visited the National Scouting Museum over spring break. We are a "scouting" family with both my husband and I actively involved in Scouts when our boys were growing up and both of our boys earning their Eagle. We enjoyed learning more about the history of the scout program as well as "revisiting" some of the fun activities we... More

The National Scouting Museum is a treasure. They have a gallery of paintings by American artist Norman Rockwell, simulated camping experiences, and a host of other things to see and do. It isn't just for scouting enthusiasts. Plenty of parking. Free on Mondays. Near restaurants. More

Well done and fantastic. I grew up from a Cub Scout to achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. The facility covers all aspects of the scouting movement I fondly recall. If you are or were a scout or want to interest a son in the Scouting Movement it is vital you get by here soon. More

This place is so cool for kids or adults for scouts and non-scouts. I personally enjoyed the Norman Rockwell paintings best but everybody will find something they like. Admission is only $5 and really worth the price. There is also a big snack room/ meeting hall for activities. The gift shop is mostly for scouts - badges and books and... More

I went here with an adult friend very active in scouting for years. I quit Cub Scouts early on and went because he wanted to see it. I went with no expectations and was incredibly impressed with it.

You can even try your hand at various activities like tiny car races. When I stopped by... More

I was looking for things to do in the Dallas area while visiting my inlaws in Texas. A neighbor of my inlaws was a local Scoutmaster and of course we started talking shop, as I am a big Scouter. He recommended that we go see the National Scouting Museum and I am glad we did. For some reason, my GPS... More

I thought I would check out the Scouting Museum after reading about it on their website. We went on a Monday which had free admission. It was completely empty except for my family. I don't know if they unfriendly to everyone, or just my two girls and me because we are female, but they couldn't have made it more clear... More
