Astronomy for Pack 705 @ GWA 2013-11-21

21 November, 2013 (22:49) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

Frank Garner and Theo Ramakers went to George Walton Academy to a Cub Scout meeting of Pack 705. Their intentions were to learn all that is required to earn their Astronomy Belt Loop! We had a great time with the 25 scouts and their parents!. Following a clip in which they learned about the relative sizes about planets and stars, they learned all they need to know about the solar system, and the universe. Then they actually setup the scopes after they learned how to setup a scope, and we went outside to let them focus on the tree tops since it was cloudy. A great event for the scouts and us!! Thanks for inviting us Deanna! Please click the image to go to the gallery.
