Several folks expressed interest in helping out as well. Please let me know if you are still interested. If so, Girl Scouts require all volunteers to have a background check done, a sign of the times, no doubt. This can be done on line by going to the link below. If you plan to help please fill out and submit the online form as soon as practical. Let me know when you do so, so I can advise Krissy. As soon as I get the badge requirements, I'll pass them along. I'll also get more details on the "Accommodations" I believe there will be cabins available for us. This is a great outreach opportunity for a very worthwhile organization. Please let me know if you're free to help out.

We are trying to find an Astronomer(s) to go with us to encampment in Prescott AZ for the weekend to teach the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, few 4th,5th grades (about 96 girl scouts 12 in each rotation) about the night sky, we are offering you cabin bunks and lunch, dinner, breakfast and lunch. This event will take place April 26-27 Sat 8am-9:30pm and Sunday 7am-3pm. If you fill it would be best if you came up Friday night to get a head start and do stargazing before hand this would just fine, as I will be there Friday to set up the other rotation.. You and your lovely wife are invited. We have a cabin just for the men and cabins just for the lovely females. This is a rule we have to go by GSUSA rules, as they rule over me. I would love to have you work with the girls and there leader to teach them about space as we live in surprise AZ and can't always see much of the night sky from all the city lights. Saturday night we would like the girls to be able to do stargazing we have one telescope we are able to bring but it is a novice scope. So if you have one or 2 the girls can spy on the night sky with. That would be so cool for them to be able to see what they just learned about. In the day time Saturday and Sunday we would like the girls to work on there badge/ try its work. This is learning about what a constellation is and makes a star maker with a constellation. How the earth and moon move around the sun. What is an eclipse of the moon and sun? Each group will have 1h and 15mins and there is 5 rotations sat., and 3 rotations on Sunday. If you are interested in this event please call me soon, as we need to fill this soon.
