Neil Armstrong in the Movies and Scouts

Neil Armstrong in the Movies and in the Scouts

Scouting Magazine takes a look.

Just prior to the October release of "First Man," the story of Neil Armstrong preparing for his historic flight to the moon, Scouting Magazine ran a story called "10 Scouting facts you probably didn’t know about Eagle Scout Neil Armstrong." Click here for details.

As the article points out, the "Space Exploration" merit badge didn't exist when Armstrong was a youth, so that was not one of the 26 that he earned on his way to Eagle.
