Explore our program options for Scouts

Project Oceanology’s scout programs immerse participants in unforgettable, hands-on adventures that bring marine science to life. Whether aboard our research vessel trawling for marine creatures and testing water chemistry, exploring coastal habitats from marshes to beaches, or studying plankton up close in our seawater lab, scouts experience the ocean as their classroom. Scouts can join a scheduled program, or troops may book a custom experience — tailored to your group’s interests and goals to ensure a unique and meaningful adventure.
