Scouting America Overnight

Space Center Houston engages Scouts in an interactive and hands-on learning environment. Participants will have an enriched experience in our overnights that teaches Scouts about the science, technology, engineering and mathematics involved with space exploration.

Space Center Houston is excited to welcome back Scouts for our Overnight Experiences. To ensure a safe environment for our campers and crew members, we ask all participants to review our new health and safety policies and procedures as well as our Overnight Experience FAQ before participating.

Each overnight is tailored to the individual ages of the Scouts. The activities are badge-inspired, STEM-based and all about space! Come experience Space Center Houstonโ€™s Scouting America Overnight activities. Immerse yourself in a setting where your imagination can take flight as you design, build, create, program and launch into a new world of opportunity and exploration.

Demonstrate Scout leadership skills as you work with your peers to solve the real-world problems NASA often encounters. How can you make an astronautโ€™s job easier? How do you program a robot? How do you plan an astronaut rescue mission on Mars? Get ready to launch into an incredible experience in our Scouting America Overnights.
