Scouting at Thomas Edison Center!
The Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park has programs specifically tailored to meet Adventure Requirements. These programs offer scouts an exclusive opportunity to engage, experience, and learn. The Thomas Edison Center has the distinct advantage of allowing scouts to fully experience a history and science related program in the setting where that history actually happened. The unique collection of original Edison inventions in the museum, along with our seasoned enthusiastic museum educators, bring history to life in a fun and educational way. All programs include a hands-on component that further allows scouts to not only hear and see, but also touch history!
Nestled within the 36-acre Edison State Park, the Thomas Edison Center offers a one of a kind opportunity for scouts to explore the world of nature and learn about the amazing life of Thomas Edison. The park contains some of the oldest trees located in Middlesex County and contains unique specimens of plants that provide a habitat for an abundance of native animals and birds. Several of our programs highlight the carefully planned and maintained grounds of the Thomas Edison Center and offers scouts a chance to explore, experience and learn about the natural world.
