Please go over the below listed rules with your group before continuing with your tour. By the Hutchings Museum involving them in the scouting program, we would expect that leaders would teach and inform their scouts the proper demeanor for this learning experience.

 
 

Proper Museum Etiquette

  1. Please do not touch any of the artifacts unless indicated as a touch/feel exhibit with the hand sign on the placard. (hand)
  2. Using lower voices and maintaining good manners when in the Museum allows everyone an opportunity to enjoy and learn.
  3. We ask that scout groups stay together by room as they move from one room to another.
  4. Docents are available for help in questions that you might have.
  5. At the conclusion of the visit, your worksheets may be checked by your group leader for accuracy. Only worksheets that have 100% are eligible for the Hutchings Museum Scouting Patch. The key to the worksheet is available at the front desk.
  6. Again, we ask that you please do not touch any of the artifacts. Oils and dirt from hands will discolor and further deteriorate artifacts already in fragile condition.
  7. Restrooms and a drinking fountain are available in the middle of the Museum if needed.
  8. We are glad to have your group with us. We hope that you learn and enjoy the exhibits that have been provided.
