We invited a local gemstone expert, Mr. Kevin Lake, to join our Pack meeting to talk about gemstones. Mr Lake was an Eagle Scout many years ago and he generously donated many pieces of Botswana Agate raw stones to our Pack. Every scout received a piece of Botswana Agate before the meeting and learned some fun facts about this gemstone. We also had a virtual tour in Mr. Lake’s workshop to see how he cuts, shapes and polishes gemstones.

Our 1st ever Virtual Pack Campout was held on the weekend of November 14-15. During the event, our scouts made their favorite pasta dishes for dinner, followed by “campfire” S’mores.
Although the night weather conditions were not ideal, some scouts were able to sleep outdoor in tents and enjoyed it.
In the morning, they made the famous “Scout omelets in a bag” for breakfast and and had lots fun doing other scouting activities.

Research scientist and NASA-trained astronaut Gary Bostrup was invited to join our pack Zoom meeting on Oct 8th to talk about the International Space Station, the Space Shuttle program, doing scientific research in space, and answered some questions from our scouts. Gary showed us a photo of him doing near-zero gravity training aboard NASA’s Vomit Comet Boeing 707. Very impressive!
After the meeting, we went outside to watch the International Space Station passing above the Oak Park area. During the few minutes of the ISS pass, almost all the scouts could see the bright star-like spacecraft zipping through the night sky. We even used Ham radio equipment to capture its radio signature during the pass.
Our 2nd pack meeting will be on Thursday, October 8th from 6:00 to 7:00 pm, followed by an “International Space Station viewing party” from 7:09 to 7:16 pm. ISS will have a visible path right above Oak Park from Northwest to Southeast. Would you be able to take a photo or video and share with everyone on our Facebook page facebook.com/Pack3789/ ?
