The mission of the Cradle of Aviation Museum is twofold: to engage all ages in the exploration of our aerospace heritage by preserving and displaying Long Island’s contribution to air and space travel; and to inspire, motivate, and stimulate our youth to be the next generation of aerospace scientists and engineers. We achieve our mission through our growing exhibit collection and our ever expanding educational programs.
Join us on Saturday, December 14th, for an exciting day of exploration and discovery designed for Girl Scouts at different levels!
Cadettes - Night Owl
10 am - 11:30 am

Juniors - Programming Robots
12 pm - 1:30 pm
90-minute program, $30 per Scout
What is a robot, and how can we recognize one? In this engaging program, scouts will step into the role of programmers as they explore the concept of the 'robot brain' and how code serves as the language of robots. Through hands-on experience with drones, scouts will discover the crucial role of code in enabling humans to communicate with robots and provide them with instructions.
Daisies - Using Resources Wisely
2 pm - 3:30 pm
90-minute program $17 per Scout
Discover what it means to recycle and why it's essential! Scouts will learn how they can recycle things in their neighborhood, how nature recycles, and how they can cut down on garbage. Each Scout will make and bring home a flower seed planted in a small pot made of biodegradable materials.
