Activities

We will be holding a scout astronomy merit badge workshop during ALCon 2011. This workshop will be held at the Bryce Canyon Lodge auditorium from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. Scout leaders and scouts will meet at the lodge to work on the requirements. We have a committee that will be available for questions and assistance with this workshop. We will watch to see how much interest we have for this workshop and adjust the schedule as needed. Please watch the web site for updates.

ALCon registration for youth under 18 years of age will be one dollar. For the system we are using, this was the best way to keep the information organized and to print badges. You will need to wear your badge at all times.

For any of the meals, if one person from your family is registered for ALCon, the spouse and kids are welcome to register for meals without being registered for ALCon.

Our speaker line up is very exciting. As you can see, we have a wide variety of speakers, so far. We will only be running one speaker track for this ALCon. This way there will be plenty of time for socializing, vendors or anything else you would like to do.

Other plans are a swap meet, astrophoto contest, and an ALCon observing program. We are still in the planning stages and we will gladly listen to any suggestions.

We will be adding more information to the web site as we move forward. Please check it frequently for up to the minute information.
