For those scout families interested in learning more about the upcoming Solar Eclipse on Monday, August 21st, the BSA has provided us with the following learning objectives. If your scout completes these requirements, he will earn the BSA 2017 Solar Eclipse Patch.
We will be covering Solar Eclipse Safety & Viewing (item #2) at the Pack 310 Disc Golf-A-Thon on Saturday, August 19th. Your Den Leaders are looking forward to working with those of you interested in completing the three remaining learning themes. Enjoy!
