Scouting Program

Spring 2013 Program Information:

NOTE:

We will be teaching the Nuclear Science Merit Badge for the following event for Spring 2013:

1. January 26 - ANS Nuclear Science Merit Badge Program
2. February 16 - ANS Nuclear Science Merit Badge Program
3. April 6 - ANS Nuclear Science Patch Program (GIRL SCOUTS ONLY)

Since there is a lot of material to cover, there will be prerequisite material for the scouts. Prerequisite material can be found at bottom of page.

A Scout Leader or Legal Guardian will be required to be in attendance with a scout or group of scouts to provide assistance and to transport them to the Nuclear Science Center. Leaders will be able to tour the reactor facility with the scouts but will have to fill out an additional security form as they are not minors. This will be due a week in advance to the program.

Please contact Christopher Chance (chance.nuclear@gmail.com) and Lily Raabe (lraabe@tamu.edu) if you are an adult leader and have not completed a reactor security form.
