Event Description: Space Jamboree Workshop (Space Jam)

Come join us at Chanute Air Museum in Rantuol, IL and you'll be able to say: "I talked with the astronauts aboard the International Space Station, designed a moon base, flew rockets, helped plan a mission to Mars, used Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, built robots, and earned 2 technology Merit Badges and an Eagle Required Merit Badge. What did *you* do with your weekend?"

Preregistered Scouts have a chance to talk with Astronauts on the International Space Station, so get your registration in early.

Registration per scout and adult is $45 before 3/31 and $55 after. Some merit badges have an additional fee: USCF chess $5 fee, Ham Radio $15 FCC fee. Robotics, Underwater Robotics, Metalwork (forge and sheet), and Woodworking each have a $10 additional fee to cover supplies.

New this year: FLY ON AN AIRPLANE! Only 60 scouts will get this opportunity. Cost is $10 extra. If you want to try to get ride, circle the appropriate flight session on your schedule. A parent or guardian must register and be on-site to sign forms.
