Merit Badge: Space Exploration

[drwayne]

I was going through Merit Badges that I felt semi-competent to mentor kids through in Boy Scouts, and I found one on Space Exploration.<br /><br />Requirements are here:<br />http://www.meritbadge.com/mb/107.htm<br /><br />I know there are a lot of good resources on the web, but I was curious if any of y'all had done this sort of thing yourselves?<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

My oldest 2 are in Cub Scouts, and we do all kinds of things at KSC, last fall we camped at KARS park on the Space Center, and there was a Delta II launch that night. Talk about cool! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />The requirements of the Merit Badge seem pretty fun, in just a few years I'll be doing that with my boys, I'm sure.<br /><br />This is another one I'm pretty comfortable with:<br />http://www.meritbadge.com/mb/025.htm <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

No fair! Those weren't available when I was in Girl Scouts!<br /><br />I did get a bunch of other related badges, though, such as Astronomy. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
