Default Girl Scout Astronomy Badge

There was some discussion here a few months ago about the Boy Scout
Astronomy Merit Badge requirements. As it happens, I'm helping my niece
with her Girl Scout requirements, which make the Boy Scout requirements
look like graduate school in comparison.

Some examples:

Tools of the Trade - Learn the parts of a telescope and how to use one.
If possible, use a tracking telescope or look through telescopes with
different magnitudes.

Star Stamps - Address an envelope to yourself or a friend, including
your solar system and galaxy address.

Time for the Moon - The best time to observe the moon is when it is
full, or almost full.

At the bottom of this page of requirements are three images- one of
which is horribly wrong: http://www.cloudbait.com/misc/gscoutastro.jpg

Really, this whole thing is pretty pathetic.
