Explorers Space Activity Badge

If you have a passion for the mysteries of space, are fascinated by the technology that takes us there, or just mesmerised by the night sky there is something around the subject of space for you.  

The universe is full of wonders waiting to be explored, so why not dive into something that excites you and uncover how it all works in the vast expanse of space? 

You can try some examples listed below or come up with your own activities or challenges with a Leader or trusted adult. You should choose activities that will be somewhat challenging for you to complete and take a reasonable amount of time. 

The Scouts and UK Space Agency Partnership
