On September 11, 2004, Drs. Hofmann and Klinck gave an overview presentation to a classroom full of Scouts and Scout leaders at CCPO. 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 second such program held this year. Two more programs are scheduled for 2005.
