No-Be-Bo-Sco STEM Star Wars Comp-o-ree May 4-6th

What better way to celebrate Star Wars day (May the 4th be with you!) than to spend it at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco earning various STEM related merit badges, and allowing our younger scouts to get a preview of all the summer Camp fun No-Be has to offer archery & riffle/shotgun ranges will be open! The cost per Scout/Adult is $30ea for food & camp activity. Please check out the agenda below for the weekend - Don't miss out reserve your spot below!

May the 4th Be With You Weekend

FRYday Night Special – Using a Dutch oven, fry up as many things (must be fit for consumption)

as you can think of. We’ll provide the cooking equipment and a limited amount of food will be

available, for example Pigs in the Blanket, etc. Batter will be available delicacies like deep fried

Oreos you may want to bring. Please free to bring something you would like to fry and try. Hint –

Since this is a STEM Camporee scientific items are always appropriate. Twinkies are a scientific

marvel with limited nutritional value that seem to never decompose. If you bring Twinkies to fry

expect a real treat! (…and as Luke discovered on Tatooine – if you freeze them before frying it’s

even better!)

Special MOVIE (think light sabers…)

SPL Meeting Details TBA

o Vortex Cannon Challenge- Build a vortex cannon and then using teamwork aim your invention at the distant target to score points. Build and take home a 3D-printed Darth Vader mini LED Flashlight

o Build and take home a STEM Catapult (Used in NOVA Awards) and see how far and high you

can launch an item

o Build and take home the world’s simplest DC Motor

o Pendulum Target- Using a suspended ball – adjust the length of the string to hit various targets to score maximum points.

o Death Star Attack – Five-man teamwork mission to drop the photon torpedo into the Death Star-Timed event.

o Charge the Reactor- Using trigonometry skills (or basic scout compass training) determine the exact length of an adjustable boom in order to safety place radioactive tubes into three reactor chambers- no room for error!

o Flight Training- Each Patrol Member folds a paper plane, launches the craft toward a mesh target using a special catapult. Plane configuration must permit place to remain in the mesh. Plane that fall out don’t score points.
