Discover. Explore. Connect.
“Go See It” outings are one of the most exciting parts of the Scout experience! These field trips take Scouts beyond the meeting room and into the real world — where they can explore local businesses, community services, natural spaces, and historical sites firsthand.
Whether it’s touring a fire station, visiting a bakery, exploring a farm, or hiking a local trail, “Go See It” adventures bring learning to life and help Scouts connect with the world around them.

These living museums — such as naval ships, military bases, aviation museums, and wartime memorials — give Scouts a powerful, hands-on connection to our nation’s heritage and the people who defended it.
