This year Conservation Awards and STEM Adventure Weekend are combining to celebrate the 2023 Eclipse at Lost Pines Scout Reservation.  Along with viewing the annular Eclipse (88% zone of totality) during a picnic lunch, Scouts can take up to 3 to 5 merit badge classes during the weekend.

On Friday evening,  choose between a merit badge class or a movie.  The Eclipse is between classes on Saturday.  On Saturday evening, Scouts can choose between a merit badge class or spend time exploring STEM in Action which includes climbing and rappelling on DOK's Tower, an egg drop competition, open radio, a star party, branding, chess, and the fingerprinting merit badge.

The event is limited to 500 participants in total.  Pre-register for the event between May 4th (May the 4th be with you) and July 24th at the Early Bird rate ($100 per youth registrant, $50 per adult registrant).   Classes open July 25th for pre-registered participants.  General registration with full class options opens Aug 1st ($110 per youth registrant and $60 per adult registrant).    Late registration pricing begins Sept 30th ($120 per youth registrant and $70 per adult registrant).
