Saturday December 1st is the Franklin Institute’s Astronomy Scout Day. It is a special themed program just for Scouts! The day includes General Admission to the Museum, an explosive live science show, a film in one of our three theaters, skygazing in the Joel N. Bloom Observatory and a variety of activities to work towards badges, belt loops, pins, and more!
Full details can be found on the Calendar however I wanted to let everyone know that the registration deadline is Nov 23, 2012.
While this is not an official pack event, several of the leaders will be there. Each rank has a multitude of requirements they can accomplish by attending this event.
For starters all cub scouts will work towards their Astronomy Belt Loop and the Astronomy Pin. Rank specific requirements that can be covered are listed in the exhibit guides, which we placed on the calendar event page for you. Be sure to print it out and bring it along just in case they don’t have any of those on hand.
UPDATE: THEY ARE RUNNING A SPECIAL!!! FOR EVERY REGISTERED SCOUT 1 ADULT CAN ATTEND FOR FREE. EACH ADDITIONAL ADULT IS $13.50.
Note on Scout Days
From time to time different facilities around the city will host Scout Days, such as “Scout Day at the Franklin Institute” coming up in December. Sometimes they are age restricted or restricted to either the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts. While we may choose to attend some of these Scout Days as a pack we will not always attend them as a pack. However these events will often have perks for the scouts making them a worthwhile trip should parents and children wish to make them an individual outing. Parents are also free to group together and go as well.
As I find these events or as others bring them to my attention, I have every intention of putting these on the Calendar for the benefit of those who wish to take advantage of them. Just because they are on the Calendar does not mean it is a pack event. Please click on the event and read the details of the event.
