Girl Scout Programs at ISAC

ISAC is excited to offer a number of programs and fun patches for Girl Scouts. Take part in a public program or workshop, or schedule something just for your troop! At each of our programs, you’ll take an interactive, hands-on approach to investigating the ancient world and get to learn how ISAC scientists decipher ancient languages, research mummies without unwrapping them, or excavate artifacts to answer questions about the past. Come explore the ancient world with us—sign up for a program today!

Public Programs and Workshops

All of our upcoming public programs can be found on our Youth and Family Programs page. Look for “fun patches available on-site” in the event description to see if an event offers fun patches. Fun patches are available for a $2 donation each.
