LVAAS IS PROUD TO SUPPORT THE GIRL SCOUT AND CUB SCOUT PROGRAMS IN ASTRONOMY
Please contact the Lehigh Valley Amateur Astronomical Society’s Scouting Activities Coordinator, Claudio M. Stabile, at scouting@g.lvaas.org to inquire about possible programs for your group.
*** Please note that the requirements for scout badges are revised periodically. For this reason, LVAAS does not maintain requirements for any scout badges. If a unit is attempting to meet any specific requirement(s), these requirements must detailed in the email request. ***
The following information should be distributed to your group before the day of your event:
- Adequate adult supervision is required for your group at all times.
- LVAAS volunteers are not responsible for the supervision of the scouts or other visitors.
- Persons under seven years old should not attend, this includes siblings.
- Leave all flashlights, light-up sneakers, etc., at home. In astronomy, light destroys the experience for others.
- All cell phones must be on silent and should not be answered or checked during the program. They should be kept in pocket or purse because they light up. See above.
- No running or horseplay on LVAAS property. We do most of our work in the dark, and there are dangerous trip hazards and expensive pieces of equipment about.
Available session dates are based on the availability of LVAAS facilities and the availability of LVAAS presenters. This schedule can change based on the ever-changing availabilities of both.
