Learn about what trees and plants do for us and animals. Discover why taking care of them is important to our planet’s well-being. Visit Retzer Nature Center and conduct a tree inventory.

During the Star Signs planetarium show, observe easy-to-see constellations and names of stars in the night sky. Scouts will use a telescope, binoculars, or a sunspotter to observe distant objects, such as stars, planets, nebulae, galaxies, and/or the sun.** Lastly, a homemade model of a constellation will be made. Requirements 3-4 will be completed and guidance for Requirements 1-2 will be provided (weather permitting).
**A live planetarium star talk will replace telescope observation if the weather doesn’t allow outdoor viewing.
