From the Curator: Scouting
As we welcome the new year, January kicks off one of our most impactful programs: Scout Month! At KCAM, we take pride in fostering education and community engagement through exciting, hands-on experiences. Our Scouting programs are a cornerstone of these efforts, offering unforgettable activities that inspire the next generation of automotive enthusiasts.
Each weekend in January, we’ll host Pinewood Derbies, where Scouts design, build, and race their miniature cars. And the fun doesn’t stop there! Starting in January and continuing through March, we’re offering exclusive Scout Overnight Merit Badge Classes on select weekends, providing a unique opportunity for Scouts to immerse themselves in the history and engineering of automobiles.
A heartfelt thank-you goes out to Hoffman Orthodontics for their generous sponsorship of our Boy Scout Merit Badge Classes. Your support makes it possible for us to continue inspiring young minds through education and community-building experiences. Learn more about Hoffman Orthodontics here: https://www.hoffmanortho.com.

Legacy In Motion
The Kansas City Automotive Museum is embarking on a groundbreaking journey, and we want you to join us! In 2025, we’ll launch our Legacy in Motion Capital Campaign, a bold vision to create a revolutionary 40,000-square-foot landmark in the heart of Kansas City.
This isn’t just about building a museum—it’s about uniting generations through the power of the automobile. Our new space will celebrate innovation, preserve Kansas City’s rich car culture, and connect our past with future possibilities.
