Scouts attend overnight adventure at space center


Special to The Sun

Cub Scouts attend Overnight Adventure at Kennedy Space Center.

In an adventure of intergalactic proportions, Wakulla’s Cub Scouts Pack 5 spent an incredible night exploring, discovering and dreaming at a one-of-a-kind Overnight Adventures program at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island on October 22.


About 50 Scouts and chaperones from Wakulla slept underneath a 363-foot-long Saturn V moon rocket. This is the world’s largest rocket and it actually went to the moon!

The Scouts were inspired by various educational exhibits, space documentaries, hands-on challenges, a scavenger hunt, exciting space simulator experiences, and some even got to meet a real NASA astronaut.
