RESOURCES YOU NEED:

HOW TO FINISH UP:
  • Connect to the Counselor - If your troop uses Scoutbook (Troops 1, 541, and 542 do), please follow these instructions to connect to the counselor. Jennifer or Paul will approve your work in that tool, and you can use it to communicate with them. If your troop doesn't use Scoutbook, then you can e-mail the counselor (see links above) to communicate, but please be sure to copy your parent on any messages.
  • Fill Out The Workbook - Download and completely fill out your Workbook. Include your name, and don't leave any boxes blank. Be sure to read what the requirement says, and answer the question it asks. If you aren't sure of your answers, flip through the presentation material below and refresh your memory so you don't give wrong answers.
  • How to Submit Your Work
    1. Gather your workbook, and anything else you want to submit. Place everything in a single zip file
    2. Make sure your name is part of the name of the zip file. For example it might be named John_Smith_Space_Ex.zip.
    3. Go to our upload page
    4. Click on "Select File", browse to your file, and select it.
    5. Click on "Select dir" and choose "Space Exploration MB"
    6. Click on "Upload File"
    7. Wait patiently. It will take some time, but eventually a green box should appear telling you your file has been sucessfully uploaded. Contact Mr. Eibner if you have trouble.
