Aviation Merit Badge (Scissortail Series)

Come learn about the fascinating world of Aviation!. Weather permitting, each Scout will be able to take a flight. Your instructor will be Captain Tim Brown, a professional commercial jet airline pilot with 10 years of flight experience.
There are two sessions required to eartn this Merit Badge; the first session is at ther Council office, and the second at Guthrie/Edmond Regional Airport. Scouts will need to bring $30 to the airport session to defray the cost of fuel for the aircraft.
For most of history, people have dreamed of flying, imagining how it would feel to soar through the sky like an eagle or hover in midair like a hummingbird, to float on unseen currents, free of Earth’s constant tug, able to travel great distances and to rise above any obstacle. Today, through aviation, we can not only join the birds but also fly farther, faster, and higher than they ever could.
