At our annual Scout Day, scouts participate in activities that include actual artifacts, hands-on demonstrations and games that help them learn more about World War II—while earning a National D-Day Memorial patch. A guided tour of the Memorial is included. Admission for each registered scout and scout leader is $5.

For an additional $5, earn a Boy Scout “Scouting Heritage” merit badge or a Girl Scout “Public Speaker” badge. Both programs occur at the Bedford Area Welcome Center (816 Burks Hill Road, Bedford, VA). The Boy Scout “Scouting Hertiage” merit badge will be from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and the Girl Scout “Public Speaker” badge program will be from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.. Only Scouts are required to purchase a ticket for this. Leaders and Parents can attend the merit badge program at no charge.

Advance registration and pre-payment is preferred by Friday, March 15, 2019. Space is limited and programs and tours will sell out. No refunds will be given. Contact the Memorial’s Education Department at (540) 586-3329 ext. 111 or education@dday.org for more information.
