BILOXI, Miss. -South Mississippi Scouts spent the weekend earning Space Exploration Merit Badge(s), learning Newton’s laws of motion and building model rockets here at Camp Wilkes. While learning about building rockets, Scouts - both boys and girls - were introduced to a possible profession. “Part of the curriculum includes a study of careers and possible avenues they may go as adults,” Scout Master Thomas Carroll told WLOX. The Scout Masters have talked with the kids about "what kind of jobs can you do in the aerospace industry.” said Scout Master Tim Willis. Being able to expose the young people to these sorts of things is a "great thing scouting does.” The experience gave Scouts a better understanding of science. But for scout masters, it gave was a chance to impact lives. On March 25, scouts will have the chance to learn new things like cooking, survival and camping skills at Camp Wilkes.
