Participation is free and open to the public. The astronomers from Bucks-Mont Astronomical Association will have telescopes available to look through and will be on hand to answer questions. Dress warmly and bring binoculars or your own telescopes if you have them. Bug spray is recommended this time of year. We ask that you leave your pets at home for the safety and comfort of other participants and to prevent potential damage to delicate equipment. 🔭

Participants are welcome to arrive around 7:15 for discussion and make-your-own redlight flashlights, while we wait for darkness. Stargazing will commence closer to 8:00. 🔦

One photo says it all!
Pack 196 keeps growing and thriving because of the leaders and adults that take charge on leading and guiding our boys…but more importantly the motivation by the Scouts and the joy they experience in Scouting.

As our end of the year pack meeting emphasized, a Scout needs an ‘Akela’, to guide them on the path to Eagle. Not only do you as a parent, guardian or friend need to take on the responsibility of that role, but hopefully the people you surround your Scout and family with accept and honor that commitment as well.

Great way to start summer and grateful to be part of this group! ... See MoreSee Less
