(The following compilation is posted in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America’s Mining in Society merit badge. The author served as co-chair of the Content Development Team responsible for writing the requirements and pamphlet associated with the merit badge. The intention of the list is to assist Scouts locate sites where they can achieve some of the requirements for the merit badge (e.g. requirement 5b). Scouts and Counselors should call ahead and verify with site staff of their plans for a visit.

The list is incomplete at this time. It will always be in flux due to the opening of new exhibits and sites, and due to some that cease to operate.
