A few words on light. We try to maintain dark conditions at the site. Therefore we have certain rules about light. First, no white flashlights. The only flashlights that you should use are not too bright, red ones.

Cubs who attend may complete the Astronomy Academic Belt Loop and Pin. Bear Scouts can also work on the Space Arrow Electives.
