Commemorative Air Force - Utah Wing Aviation Merit Badge Class

The Utah CAF offers a Boy Scouts Merit Badge class on aviation. These classes are taught by aviators in our museum which gives the boys a more hands-on presentation of the Boy Scout material. The charge is only $20 per boy which will include a handout of the material. Some troops have camped out next to the hanger on the airport grounds and we allow them access to the museum for the bathrooms at night. The program is approved by the Boy Scouts.
