They see the movie in the visitor center, visit the fort, and complete activities in the booklet. It is suggested the children 6 and under complete four activities, children age 7 to 10 complete six activities, and children 11 and up finish nine activities. The scouts will earn a wooden Junior Ranger badge. ![]() GEORGE WASHINGTON LEARNING TO BE A LEADERThis self-guide program was developed by the National Park Service in cooperation with the Westmoreland-Fayette Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The program themes are leadership and stewardship. As the Scouts work through the activities to earn "George Washington Learning to be a Leader" patch, they find how young George Washington learned lessons which he used throughout his lifetime, including as a general and as the first president of the United States. ![]() SCOUT RANGERBoy and Girl Scouts can earn the “Scout Ranger” certificate or the "Scout Ranger” patch. Participate in 5 hours of organized education activities and/or volunteer service projects to earn the certificate or 10 hours to earn the patch.
