Scouts Enjoy Visiting Museums

SA Scout Troop 270B and 270G didn’t let a campout with bad weather dampen their adventures. They spent the day at the National Security Agencies Cryptologic Museum (pictured above), where they learned how codes started way back in Egypt and have manifested throughout the years and how wars were fought and prevented with codes. Did you know that the Navajo Code Talkers played an instrumental role in the allied victory of World War II? Did you know that women were some of the first code breakers? 

After cracking the codes of their minds, they headed to NASA Goddard Space Museum and went to outer space, leaning about weather, planets, and it impacts us.  Have you heard of the Webb Telescope?  Have you seen the pictures it can take? Wow!
