What is a Badge Night?

An unforgettable group adventure. Badge Nights give Scouts, Guides and uniformed groups exclusive evening access to Winchester Science Centre for a packed programme of hands-on science and themed activities.

Groups can explore two floors of interactive exhibits, take part in interactive workshops, enjoy spectacular science demonstrations and get stuck into a unique experience linked to badge learning.

With a different theme at each event, there’s always something new to discover while earning the Curiosity Badge, and our handy Badge Guides make it easy for Leaders to see which badges young people can work towards at each night.

Please note that a mandatory form must be completed and submitted for each troop before attending the event.

Badge Guides now available!

We’ve created helpful Badge Guides for our Badge Nights to make it easier for Leaders to see exactly which badges young people can work towards during each event. Visit each event listing to download your badge guide.
