Scout Day at the Georgia State Capitol
Georgia State Capitol | March 7, 2024
Scouting prepares young people to be good citizens. Spend the day witnessing first-hand the political process in Georgia. Take on the Capitol Scavenger Hunt. Watch your legislators recognize your Scouts from the House Gallery. And have a chance to ask actual representatives your most pressing questions!
The Capitol will provide a note explaining the activities the Scouts participated in during the day. Scouts and family may arrive from 8:00 am-8:30 am. The program will begin at 9:00 AM and will end at 11:00 AM. Please check with your school's administrative staff to determine if this will qualify as an excused absence. Registration costs for this event will be $5 for each participant. Each Scout that registers will receive a patch and a participation certificate.
