ASO Dark Sky Rangers
Dark Sky Ranger Corps
The rangers are a youth and young adult group that act as ASO Dark Sky Ambassadors and Stewards to help us preserve the Ozark Natural Skies. They hand out literature about light pollution, help at events, help members, give directions and act as event host.
Dark Sky Training
Dark Sky Rangers go through a basic training (boot camp) program at a wildernes camp with their parents. A group of trainers will lecture to the group about Dark Sky initiatives and how to inform the public. They will also be trained to be expert "Citizen Astronomers" and able to teach the public on how to use a telescope and view the planets and stars.
