Skywatching Sesson at Jordan Lake

If you missed the AWESOME Astronomy Scout Night last night, join us for the Skywatching Session at Jordan Lake this weekend.  On Saturday night (weather permitting), Morehead Planetarium will host a skywatching night from 9pm to 11pm at the Ebenezer site of Jordan Lake.  This event is free, no registration required, and they will provide telescopes powerful enough to see the Moon, Mars, and Saturn, plus numerous constellations.  We've also heard a rumor that a "flyby" of the ISS will be visible from 10:01pm to 10:08pm.  You won't want to miss this!

2023 Trip to USS Yorktown - Operation Overnight

Pack 825 was thrilled to return to the historic USS  Yorktown , located in Charleston, SC for the first time since 2019 for Operation Overnight. During our two-night stay, we slept on board the aircraft carrier in traditional Navy berthing compartments and ate meals in the ship's galley. We learned what life was like for Navy sailors and saw some of our military's most notable airplanes and ships up close. The USS Yorktown is a floating museum that includes a flight simulator, a hanger deck, movie theater, and so much more.  It was an amazing opportunity and an awesome adventure!
