The Badge Archive

Activity Description: Scouts plan a space-themed party they could host at the next meeting to celebrate and complete their badge.

• Fulfills Step 5 of GSUSA Brownie Space Science Adventurer and Junior Space Science Investigator badge requirements.

Info Needed: A space party is a fun way to wrap up a learning project and share discoveries with others. Scouts can show what they made, talk about what they learned, and enjoy space-themed games or treats. Looking at the stars together helps scouts connect their learning to the real night sky.
