Gents, 

My son has recently joined Troop 604 here in the San Lorenzo Valley, and has shown an interest in earning the Space Exploration merit badge. I'm wondering if LUNAR has ever been involved with Scouts? One of the requirements is to launch, so we'll be planning to attend the next one when it is scheduled. 

Finding a merit badge counselor for this badge has been surprisingly difficult, so if anyone has experience with a local troop I'd be very grateful for any tips. 

Thanks for any help!

Martin

Martin, it’s been many years, but I was a Scout leader for several years, and also both a merit badge counselor and a teacher for the merit badge counselors’ class. This was in the Pacific Skyline Council (Palo Alto, specifically). My YPT certification has lapsed, but if there’s reasonable interest (e.g., at least a few Scouts) and no counselor available I could refresh my YPT, review the current requirements for the badge, and serve again.

I am a counselor for Space Exploration Merit Badge in the Pacific Skyline Council.  My YPT is current and I am AB506 certified.  I am in Pacifica.  I have several scouts in my troop working on the badge and will likely be launching at Snow Ranch this next season.
