Scout Programs for Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Cadettes are offered year-round at the Museum of Westward Expansion and Old Courthouse. The programs present the history of St. Louis and the American West in the nineteenth century and are classified according to scout level. Programs fulfill the requirements for Scout badges through a Leader Activity Guide, which contains activities to be completed before and after the program.
