Long Term Scout Ideas
In Troop 109 and 007, we want scouts to have a wonderful experience and have come up with a way to add to their scouting career, a Long Term Planning Committee. In this committee, we will be coming up with ideas for further out experiences. Below you will find more information on these activities.
Green Bank Observatory
This would be a weekend trip to West Virginia to experience this major site for deep space radio astronomy and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). They have multiple impossibly large radio telescopes including one 17 Mlb one that can hold a football stadium. One of the telescopes they maintain on site is for scouts to use for on-site astronomy merit badge weekends. You have to book as soon as they become available - 2026 is already booked.
Pisga Area Research Institue
Study astronomy and space much closer to home. This location offers amazing programs like Astrobiology, aerospace engineering, rocket launching, and Lunar and Martian geography. They even offer evening telescope viewing.
