Merit badge · Nature · 2027
Draft: may still change
Scouts study how activity in space affects our own planet and take in the wonders of the night sky: nebulae, where new stars are born; old stars dying and exploding; meteor showers and shooting stars; the moon, planets, and a dazzling array of stars.
