Do parents need to stay in the class?No. HMNS Summer Scout classes use qualified instructors; however, if you have a Scout with special needs, i.e., who may need assistance to complete the requirements, a parent should expect to stay in the room to assist the instructor. Please contact the Scout Program Manager at (713) 639-4631 (til May) or (713) 639-4702 (June - August) to discuss a plan to help your child be successful in Summer Scout classes. If a Scout cannot complete the requirements, he or she will not be given full credit for the class. HMNS will not issue a refund in such circumstances.

Does my child need permission to take a Summer Scout class?Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Webelos do not need permission from their troop or pack to take a class. Boy Scouts must get permission from their Scoutmaster before starting work on a merit badge. If a Scout takes a class without Scoutmaster approval, he may not be given credit for the work. HMNS will not issue a refund in such circumstances.

Do Boy Scouts need a Blue Card?HMNS issues pre-printed “Blue Cards”, the official BSA form for Merit Badge Counselors, detailing the requirements completed by the Scout during class and verified by the Merit Badge Counselor. For Eagle-required merit badges, a Blue Card signed by the Scoutmaster is required for the Scout to take the class. If the Scout does not have a Blue Card signed by their Scoutmaster for an Eagle-required merit badge, the Scout may not be permitted by their troop to receive credit for the class. HMNS will not issue a refund in this instance. Scouts are responsible for submitting the completed blue cards to their troop after completion of the class.

Do classes have prerequisites or homework?Some classes have prerequisites that need to be completed prior to attending class and/or homework assignments during the week. Worksheets for these prerequisites can be found on the scouts@HMNS website (hmns.org/education/scouts/boy-scouts/). Please download these worksheets and have your Scout bring the completed worksheets to class and turn them in to the Merit Badge Counselor. Homework should be completed and turned in by the due date provided by the Merit Badge Counselor. At the end of class, any incomplete work (partials) will need to be completed by the Scout afterwards and verified by the Scout Program Manager, mconnor@hmns.org, for merit badge credit.

FAQS

7

QUESTIONS?

My Scout missed some of the class. Will he complete the badge?For Boy Scouts, daily class attendance is required to complete the merit badges. A Scout cannot make up a class by attending another session without registering for the full week. If a Scout misses a class, he will need to meet with his Merit Badge Counselor to find out what he missed and if there is a possibility to make up the work, depending on the activities he missed. The Merit Badge Counselors may assign homework for the Scout to complete. If a Scout does not make up the missed work, he will get a partial on his Blue Card.

When do I need to provide a Scout Health Form and Permission Slip?Texas law requires that a health record to be on file prior to the start of class on Monday for any child participating in week-long HMNS programming. A permission slip, which informs parents about where, when, and how the class is going, is required when Scouts leave HMNS property, including trips by bus, METRO light rail, and on foot. Both documents give HMNS staff permission to authorize medical treatment in case of an emergency. Scout health forms and permission slips are available on the scouts@HMNS website (hmns.org/education/scouts/).

Who are the instructors?HMNS Summer Scout class instructors are experienced teachers, professionals, and museum volunteers, all of whom have been vetted by the HMNS Education Department prior to teaching a class. Additionally, all BSA class instructors (including Merit Badge Counselors) are required to have current BSA Youth Protection Training certification.

Class Age

The Houston Museum of Natural Science (“HMNS”) is offering the course(s) as shown above (the “Course”). Although HMNS hopes that no student is ever injured or hurt, injuries are a possibility of participation in the Course. The risk of injuries is a risk that the students and their legal guardians voluntarily agree to assume in exchange for the privilege of registering for and participating in the Course. The students and their guardians understand and agree that this risk is not a risk that HMNS assumes and that HMNS is not responsible for any injuries to the students. Accordingly, ___________________ (the “guardian”), the legal guardian of ____________________ (the “student”) voluntarily releases, discharges, and waives the right to sue HMNS and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with HMNS (collectively, the “Released Parties”) for any and all losses, demands, claims, suits, causes of action, liability, costs, expenses, and judgments whether arising in equity, at common law, or by statute, under the law of contracts, torts, or property, for personal injury (including without limitation emotional distress), arising in favor of the guardian, the student, or anyone claiming through us based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of, directly or indirectly, the student’s participation in the Course (collectively, “Claims”) EVEN IF ANY SUCH CLAIMS ARE DUE TO THE RELEASED PARTIES’ OWN NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY WITHOUT REGARD TO FAULT, VIOLATION OF STATUTE, OR OTHER FAULT, INCLUDING ANY NEGLIGENT ACT, OMISSION, OR INTENTIONAL ACT INTENDED TO PROMOTE MY CHILD’S SAFETY OR WELL-BEING. The guardian and student hereby give their permission to the Released Parties to obtain emergency medical treatment for the student if any Released Party deems in its discretion that such emergency medical treatment is necessary. The student and the guardian acknowledge and agree that any photos, videos, pictorial images, voice recordings, or quotations including those of student taken or created by any Released Party (including without limitation any taken by any photographer or videographer paid by or volunteering for any Released Party) during or relating to the Course are the sole property of HMNS and may be used in future publications, web pages, promotions, advertisements and exhibits of HMNS (or any other person authorized to use such images by HMNS) without the need of any additional permission from or consideration to the student or guardian. I release and waive for myself, the student, and anyone claiming through us all claims based on the right of privacy, right of publicity, moral rights, or any other intellectual property rights related to the rights granted by me to HMNS.

By providing an email address, the guardian grants consent to be contacted via email by HMNS; the guardian may opt out of the Museum’s email list by visiting http://mailsystem.hmns.org at any time
