Need help fulfilling scout requirements?

Visit the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig & Museum!  

We can help! The Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig & Museum is a one-of-a-kind facility whose goal is to educate the public about the offshore oil and gas industry.  We can provide scouts the unique opportunity to earn requirements for various levels of scout recognition on board a retired drilling rig.    

Workshops are available on a case-by-case basis, as requested by scout troops.  We require a minimum of 10 scouts per workshop.  Our maximum is 25 scout participants.  Please call to discuss your options and make reservations.  Reservations must be made at least 2 weeks in advance.       

Each Scout Workshop will kick-off with a guided tour of the museum.  After the tour has concluded, scouts will get right down to business working on their requirements.  Participants will receive a certificate of participation.    

We can help meet requirements for the following levels of scout recognition:

Brownie Career Try It

Junior Girl Scout Oil Up Patch

Cadette/Senior From Shore to Sea Interest Project  

Cub Scout Geology Belt Loop & Academics Pin

Boy Scout Geology Merit Badge

Boy Scout Energy Merit Badge
