Space Explorer Badge in a Bag^®
Compliment school learning about stars and space with this fun kit.

LESS THAN 50¢ PER PROJECT                Kit contains supplies for a maximum of 12 scouts to do four activities. Order a "bag of extras" for troops up to 16. Order 2 full bags for troops of 17 or more.

This "bag" provides hands-on fun for learning about the sun, moon and stars.

Available with a "Bag of Extras" for leaders who like to make samples, have extra supplies on hand or to stretch your kit for four additional girls.

If you are a Brownie leader and would like to use this kit to complete your Space Explorer Try-It here is our suggestion for fulfilling the requirements. Of course, it is not meant to infringe upon your own interpretation of the badge or the requirements printed in the Try-It book.

Requirement 1 - Viewing The Night Sky
Go stargazing and make a magnet that represents a constellation you saw. Younger girls can "invent" their own constellations. If you want, print a sky map of your local sky. Kit includes large foamie oval, star stickers, and magnet. You'll also need glue to attach the magnet. Project will take about 10 minutes to complete not including the time spent stargazing.

Requirement 2 - Charting the Moon
Chart the moon once a week for a month and observe the changing shape. Kit includes preprinted chart. You'll need your pencil or pen. Project will take about 10 minutes to complete over the month.

Requirement 4 - Make a Sun Dial
This project will fascinate your troop! You'll need scissors and glue. We also used yellow and black paint and a paint brush. Project will take about 20 minutes to complete if painting plus the time spend observing the sun dial through out the day.

Requirement 6 - Star Projector
Here's a real kid-pleaser. Make a projector to view constellations. You'll need scissors, glue, and a working flashlight. We also used black paint and a paint brush. Project will take about 20 minutes to complete if painting plus the time spend observing the constellations. (Warning: this project requires poking a big safety pin through card board and may not be suitable for younger girls. Troop leaders may want to complete this part of the project themselves.)

Testimonial:
We loved doing these projects. My girls are learning about space in school and really enjoyed the hands on reinforcement. I'm looking forward to using my other "Badge in a Bag" later in the year.
