Scout Patch Programs

Tale of Two Cultures Patch (Features Historic Patuxet Homesite, 17th-century English Village)

Discover some of the men and women who were community leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs in Plimoth Colony and the Wampanoag Homeland. Scouts immerse themselves in the daily lives of the 17th-century Wampanoag and English and compare them to their own today. In this patch program, Scouts will:

  • Discover community leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs in Plimoth Colony and the Wampanoag Homeland.

  • Explore crafts, trades, games, and cultural ideas in the Museum’s living history exhibits

  • Learn what it was like to live, work, and play in the 1600s.

Simple Machines & Amaizeing Grains Patch (features the Plimoth Grist Mill)

Be a citizen scientist at the Plimoth Grist Mill, our newest living history exhibit in the heart of Downtown Plymouth.

In this patch program, Scouts will:

  • Explore the science, engineering, math, and technology inside a working grist mill

  • Discover the accomplishments of America’s early engineers.
