RememberSchiff 3683 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) The 106 year Hawaii Boy Scout tradition called Makahiki has been reinvented (by the Aloha Council) and is now named after one of Hawaii’s most famous Eagle Scouts, astronaut Ellison Onizuka. More than 7,300 people attended the Aloha Council’s Onizuka Day of Exploration at the Blaisdell that was sponsored by the Queen’s Health Systems. In addition to the traditional Makahiki events, it also had a host of STEM activities with booths and hands-on workshops focused on science, technology, engineering and math. http://khon2.com/2017/04/30/boy-scout-makahiki-tradition-reinvented-as-onizuka-day-of-exploration/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellison_Onizuka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-51-L Edited May 1, 2017 by RememberSchiff Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 This seems fitting. For those who may not be aware and/or are too young to remember this, and who did not click on the links, Ellison Onizuka and the other astronauts pictured above were the last crew of Space Shuttle Challenger. A very sad day. I remember exactly where I was. Link to post Share on other sites
