Back in July, I posted about the Eclipse Day I was creating for my Pack. At the time, we were scheduled to be in school, but I was gonna be the bad mom and play hooky with my kid to do a STEM day. There had only been four people signed up, and I had hoped that a couple more might join us after the Back to School sign up open house and ice cream social. However, now that our school system has canceled schools for the day, my attendance is up to almost 30, which now also includes Boy Scouts!

So, not wanting to be left unprepared, I created an addendum to my original eclipse program that includes items for Boy Scouts that will help them earn not only the BSA Eclipse Patch but also work towards their Astronomy merit badge and Shoot! NOVA Award.
