Boy Scout Patch

Pea Ridge National Military Park is pleased to work with the Boy Scouts of America. The park and the scouts have a long tradition of working together on community service projects, Eagle Scout projects and merit badges.

If you are in need of an Eagle Scout project, Pea Ridge has a few projects to choose from. In the past, scouts have built historic worm rail fences, painted cannon carriages, opened trails, and built gates. If any of these projects interest you please e-mail us
