On May 19, 2007, Dr. Hofmann gave an overview presentation to a classroom full of Scouts and Scout leaders at the NOAA Marine Operations Center, Atlantic. The Scouts were completing the requirements necessary to obtain an Oceanography Merit Badge. For the second half of the program, the group went out on the R/V Fay Slover, Old Dominion University's research vessel. This was the seventh such program held since its inception in 2004. Future programs are already scheduled through 2009.
