Alton, Ill. – The National Great Rivers Museum invites Cub Scouts to create their own engineering marvels at Cub Scout Build-a-thon on Saturday, June 21st from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Scouts will construct their own catapults and see how far they can send an object soaring through the air. They will build bridges and test if their creations can support weight. Boys will generate electricity and send rockets flying into the air. At the end of the day, your scout will be well on his way to completing the Engineering Activities Badge!
