Earn the Nuclear Science Merit Badge by learning the history, uses, and hazards of nuclear science and nuclear energy generation.  Nuclear professionals will lead Scouts in interactive exercises and opportunities to learn about nuclear science.  The program is offered at Entergy's River Bend Station Training Center in St. Francisville, LA.

Earning the Nuclear Science merit badge lets Scouts learn about this exciting field at the cutting edge of science, and to learn about electricity generation that does not contribute to global warming.

Scouts will:

• complete the Nuclear Science Merit Badge
• learn about an important source of electric power that generates no greenhouse gas
• learn about nuclear radiation and use a radiation survey meter
• visit an operating nuclear plant simulator

Registration starts at 8:30 am and is open to all Scouts BSA.  Registration because of the size of the classroom is limited to the first 66 scouts.  Lunch and the Nuclear Science Merit Badge Book will be provided and are sponsored by Entergy and Louisiana Nuclear Society.

Adults attending will need to register also.  There is no fee for adults, but we do need to provide a count to the facility.

A scout is prepared.  Be sure to take a completed Part A and Part B. This documents will stay with you or the adults attending the event with you.
