The University of Texas Marine Science Institute plans to host another Oceanography Day, April 29, 2000. Our goal is to bring this exciting educational program to an even greater number of Boy Scouts than attended the most recent Oceanography Day in 1997, when 350 Scouts and 150 adult leaders participated. These Scouters were from 100 different Scout troops in 50 different towns and cities. Oceanography Day includes a full day of activities at the Marine Science Institute in Port Aransas. Before coming to Oceanography Day Scouts pass the first six requirements of the Oceanography Merit Badge.
Scouts receive their approved blue cards in the mail and their merit badge through their own troop.
Obtain a copy of the Merit Badge Booklet 1983 revision or later and read it. Complete in writing the first six requirements as listed in the merit badge booklet . Your work must be received before April 1, 2000. Your work will be carefully reviewed. Additional work or corrected answers may be required before you are approved to attend.
