Morehead Planetarium and Science Center is pleased to offer astronomy programming designed to help scout groups with badgework and other goals.
Programs are held rain or shine. Due to time constraints, weather and the needs of individual scouts, educators may need to make some changes to the workshop, which may affect some badge requirements.

In this one-of-a-kind adventure, Girl Scouts will explore science in an exciting, engaging environment. You will use telescopes to observe the night sky and play games to learn about our Solar System. Inside the GSK Fulldome Theater, you’ll be guided through the night sky without light pollution and fall asleep under a planetarium sky full of stars! The next morning, you’ll explore other planets in the planetarium; learn about constellations, the Moon and its phases; and take a year-long trip around the Sun in a hands-on activity. I hope you packed enough gear!
This program fulfills the Space Science Adventurer (Brownie) and Space Science Investigator (Junior) badge requirements.

Have you ever wondered where rainbows come from? Maybe we can shed some light on the answer!
In this Girl Scout Workshop, you will explore the science of light and how it relates to astronomy. You will get a close-up view of different colored stars in the night sky using telescopes and learn how to bend white light to make a rainbow. In the planetarium, you will see how lights here on Earth impact the night sky and learn about the entire light spectrum before falling asleep under a planetarium sky full of stars!
This program fulfills the Space Science Researcher (Cadette) badge requirements.
