Join the National Building Museum for activity days designed especially for scouts, organized youth groups, and for the Museum's family festivals.  The National Building Museum's engaging activities teach girl scouts, cub scouts, and members of youth groups to recognize and solve design problems, test civil and aerodynamic engineering principles, weigh environmental issues, and "read" the buildings around them.
