Troop 1325 visits the National Cryptologic Museum

On January 24, 2026, Scouts from Troop 1325 visited the National Cryptologic Museum in Fort Meade, Maryland . At the museum, they learned about how codes and cyphers evolved over time and how different organizations encrypted their messages. Also, Scouts learned about the evolution of computers and cell phone technology. By learning the history of cryptology, the Scouts were able to fulfill a requirement for the Signs, Signals, and Codes merit badge.
