Scouts are invited to celebrate Girl Scout Day from 1 to 3 p.m. Feb. 15 at the Levi and Catharine Coffin State Historic Site, 201 U.S. Highway 27 in Fountain City. Attendees will learn why the Underground Railroad was instrumental in aiding freedom seekers, or runaway slaves, on their journey to Canada.

Scouts can work on the Space Science Investigator and Space Science Researcher badges on March 14 at the Indiana State Museum, 650 W.

Indiana State Museum staff will guide attendees through the steps to complete the Space Science Investigator badge.
