If someone asked you to name an Eagle Scout who walked on the moon, your go-to response might be Neil Armstrong. But did you know the youngest person to step foot on the moon, Apollo 16 astronaut Charles Duke, is also an Eagle?
Even cooler? The National Capital Area Council is providing a chance for you to hear from this living legend on March 18 at 7 p.m. Eastern.
Tune in via the Scout Life Facebook page or the National Capital Area Council’s STEM page.
