Scouts Badge Weekend - Astronautics!

We are taking Scouts to a sleepover at the National Space Centre in Leicester! We will be sleeping over in the galleries at the Space Centre and completing our badge. We have the following exciting activities lined up:

• Space themed activities
• Live talks and science demonstrations
• A chance to explore the galleries with a gallery trail
• Tour of the Night Sky Planetarium Show
• Astronaut Planetarium Show
• Sleep in the gallery, around the exhibitions
• Woven badge (as well as the Astronautics Badge)
• Certificate 
• Breakfast items provided the next morning

We will be leaving Humberside on Saturday 21st September at 3pm from the Humber Bridge Country Park. The activities start as soon as we get on the coach! Scouts will need to bring a packed evening meal, sleeping bag, roll mat (no air beds), nightwear, toiletries and uniform.

Spaces are limited and bookings are now open! You can book via this booking form: https://forms.office.com/e/nKnMhhUkxC. Confirmation and payment details will be sent via email after you have submitted your booking form.

We will need £10 per person as a deposit. The final payment is due by 1st August 2024. Spaces are available in a ratio of 1 Leader to 8 Scouts. If more places become available for Leaders, then we will offer these out at a later date. There will be a reserve list available on a first come first served basis.

We will return to the Country Park on Sunday 22nd September around 11:30am.

As an extra bonus, we have manged to secure tickets to see Tim Peake when he tours at the Connexion Live! arena in Hull on Tuesday 24th September! This is an optional extra which you will be able to book when bookings open. Tickets are priced at £15 each and must be booked through the booking form. This is a huge 60% saving on the ticket price!

The fee for the Space Centre sleepover only is £80 and the fee for the Space Centre sleepover and Tim Peake is £95. This is the price per person - Scouts and Leaders.

Scouts must be in Scouts the date of the event and not an Explorer or in an Explorer Unit. Similarly, young people who are now Cubs but will be in Scouts at the event date, will be allowed to come along on your booking.

This is a fantastic opportunity for our Scouts and we look forward to having you on this Exploration!
