Learn more about where you can get approved viewing glasses.

WILL YOUR SOLAR ECLIPSE GLASSES PROTECT YOUR EYES?

Do not look directly at the sun. That’s the most important safety tip to remember during a solar eclipse.

One way to safely view an eclipse is with special-purpose solar eclipse glasses. But how do you know if your solar eclipse glasses will actually protect your eyes? Answer these five questions to find out.

1. Do your glasses have a label that says they are ISO 12312-2 compliant?
☐ Yes
☐ No

2. Did you get your solar eclipse glasses from a reputable source?
☐ Yes
☐ No

3. Are your solar eclipse glasses torn, scratched or punctured?
☐ Yes
☐ No

4. Can you see people or objects through your glasses?
☐ Yes
☐ No

5. If you quickly glance at the sun through the glasses, how does it look?
☐ Uncomfortable bright
☐ Out of focus
☐ Surrounded by a bright haze
☐ None of the above

CORRECT ANSWERS

If you get any of these answers wrong, there is a chance that your solar eclipse glasses may not be safe. They should not be used.

For more information about safe eclipse glasses, visit https://eclipse.aas.org/eye-safety or https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/safety/

1. Yes. Homemade filters or ordinary sunglasses are not safe for looking at the sun. According to NASA, the only safe way to look directly at the sun is through special-purpose solar filters. These filters must be compliant with the ISO 12312-2 (or ISO 12312-2:2015) international safety standard.

2. Yes. Reputable sources include retail stores like Walmart or Best Buy. Glasses from science museums, libraries, colleges and other official sources are also reliable. The American Astronomical Society says many counterfeit eclipse glasses are labeled as if they’re ISO-compliant when they are not. It’s important to obtain your glasses from a reputable source.If you are not sure about your glasses, you can check a complete list of reputable sources at https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters

3. No. Solar eclipse glasses are only safe if the lenses are in perfect condition. If the lenses are torn, scratched or punctured, you should not use them.

4. No. The only thing you should be able to see through a safe solar filter is the sun or something comparably bright, according to the American Astronomical Society. You might be able to see the filament of a light bulb or the LED light on your smartphone, but they will appear very dim. If you can see people, objects or even shaded lamps, then the glasses are no good.

5. None of the above. According to the American Astronomical Society, “Safe solar glasses produce a view of the sun that is comfortably bright (like a full moon), in focus, and surrounded by dark sky.” If the glasses are uncomfortably bright, out of focus or surrounded by a bright haze, then they are not safe and you should not use them.

The most wonderful time of the year is here. It’s play time! Check out our annual Scout Life guide for some of the latest and greatest from the toy world. Each toy or game was kid-tested, reviewed and approved.

ROBO REX

Build, code and rampage with Code+Control Dinosaur Robot: REX. Move the dino in all directions, make its eyes light up and trigger all kinds of sounds — including it chowing down. Our 12-, 10- and 8-year-old testers can’t get enough of it. The 12-year-old says, “It’s challenging to do the wiring when putting it together, but it does everything it’s supposed to and is really cool.” ($69.95, store.thamesandkosmos.com)

LOVE AT FIRST BYTE

Here’s your next best pet friend: the Dog-E Interactive Robot Dog. Feed and cuddle it, teach it tricks, draw pictures with it, play games and more. The robot’s changeable colors and more than 200 sounds and reactions keep the fun going. Our testers, a boy and girls ages 8, 10 and 12, needed adult help installing the app and getting it synced up, but then they were off on their own with their new pet pal. ($79.99, wowwee.com)

PULLING STUNTS

Take off with the Sky Viper Vector Performance Stunt Jet. Our 10-year-old pilot says it’s the most fun he’s had in a while! Launch it by throwing it in the air or taxiing along a smooth surface, like a sidewalk. It’s easy to fly, and you can do loops and barrel rolls with the controller’s stunt button. Our tester says you need a large space until you get the hang of it, so fly it in a field or empty parking lot. The plane is durable in crashes, and it has great battery life. ($79.99, sky-viper.com)

JUST THE FACTS

Are you up on your Disney knowledge? Have a fun family showdown with the fast-moving trivia game Beat the Parents Disney Edition. The board and card game includes 150 different drawing and active challenges. Our tester family says it’s fun and easy to play. ($19.99, spinmaster.com)

FROM THE BATCAVE

It’s the ultimate for DC Universe fans: the Flash Batmobile RC car. This limited edition 1989 vehicle roars to life with sound effects, working head and tail lights, and jet-engine water-vapor exhaust. The charging base doubles as a spinning display platform. As he raced it around, our 9-year-old tester rated it as “very cool!” Action figure and batteries included. ($179.99, spinmaster.com)

CAN’T PUTT IT DOWN

Our 9-year-old-testers of the Nerf Trick Shot Golf Set say, “It’s fun to create your own mini golf course.” The set comes with an adjustable putter, ramp and cups, allowing for different ways to customize each hole. And since the golf balls are typical Nerf foam, it’s safe for inside. ($34.99, franklinsports.com)

TAKE IT FOR A SPIN

Duncan Butterfly XT is a high-performance yo-yo especially for beginners and intermediates, offering 10 times the spin as the original model. Its ball-bearing axle and wide, durable design are perfect for all your long-spin tricks. ($5.99, duncantoys.com)

TAKE IT OUT!

The main idea with the Faction Skyfire Target Drone is to take it out of the sky. Use a connected gel bead blaster or standard soft dart shooter as the drone flies on auto-pilot, hovering and maneuvering to avoid attacks. The free app tracks your hits, accuracy and reaction times. Our 10-, 13- and 16-year-old testers loved it, but caution that wind can affect flight control. Also, the drone has a 7-minute flight time and takes about 45 minutes to recharge. ($34.99, factionbattle.com)

JAMM’D TIME

Get your party started and take it wherever you go with the Jamm’d Speaker. It fits in the palm of your hand, but it’s packed with Bluetooth 5.0 technology that works up to 800 feet. Our 9-year-old tester used its handle and a clip to attach it to her backpack while she “pumped up the music.” Take your pick from 16 cool designs. ($25, watchitude.com)

MIX IT UP

Punch, swipe, flick or twist to make DJ-style mixes. The new RUKUSfx PRO comes with lights and more than 120 music tracks and sound effects. Set your music to the beat with the new BeatSnap technology. Then connect to the app for advanced editing and mixing tools, plus games. Our 9-year-old tester really got into it. “There are so many games to choose from,” she says. “The music’s not bad, and you can make your own.” ($69.99, rukusfx.com)

FLIP FOR FUN

Flipslide was an instant hit right out of the packaging with our testers, ages 12, 10 and 8. With this handheld electronic game, flip and slide the colored blocks to match them to the lights. The four different puzzle games are fast-paced and challenging, and you can play solo or with friends. Batteries included. ($19.99, moosetoys.com)

JUST KITTEN AROUND

Collect as many colorful cats onto your property as you can with the Here, Kitty, Kitty! game. Play can get kind of crazy with the stray dogs and furballs! Our tester family had a hiss-terical time with it. For 3 to 6 players. Recommended for age 10 and older. ($29.95, firesidegames.com)

ON TARGET

The Avatar Defender Bow hit the bull’s-eye of fun with our sister (age 9) and brother (6) testers. The suction-cup arrows can fly more than 40 feet, but they’re lightweight with soft tips, so they’re safe for indoor play. “The arrows are very easy to shoot, and I like that they stick on the windows, walls and ceiling,” sister says. ($24.99, zing.store)

TWIST AND TURN

Flip it and drive it right-side up or upside down. Spin it on two wheels and watch it light up. The Tornado LED Stunt Car and its grippy rubber tires can take on all kinds of terrain. Our 9-year-old testers assure us, “It’s really cool.” ($44.99, force1rc.com)

A-MAZE-ING FUN

Draw cards and move your game piece through the maze to get to your character in Disney100 Labyrinth. You can change the board’s layout to get to your destination faster or block opponents. Of the 15 games they tried out, this was our tester family’s favorite. They say, “It’s a must-have for anyone into Disney movies and fun.” ($36.99, ravensburger.us)

HOOP IT UP

Take your mini b-ball game indoors with Bank-a-Ball. You can adjust the rim and backboard to different angles for trickshot games. It comes with a 4-inch foam basketball. Our 9-year-old tester says, “I like that it can hang on my bedroom door. It’s fun to practice basketball in my room!” ($44.99, bankaball.com)

GUESSING GAME

HedBanz Lightspeed electrifies the classic “What Am I?” game. The battery-powered headband with lights and sounds keeps the action moving. Guess as many cards as you can before your headband sings. Green light? Act out a scene. Blue? Give three clues. Orange? Answer fast! Our brother (age 11) and sister (9) testers had a blast playing with their parents. ($19.99, shop.spinmaster.com)

ALL TOGETHER NOW!

This was our tester family’s favorite board game of the year. They describe Race to the Treasure as “a super-fast escape-style game that had us all screaming and laughing.” Players work together to build a path to get to the treasure before the ogre does. ($18.95, mindware.orientaltrading.com)

EASY PLEASER

This one is a real crowd-pleaser. Nerf Kids Bounce N Score can be played indoors or outdoors, with the family or at a party — or even by yourself. All you do is bounce the foam balls on the target to score points. “This is fun,” our 12-year-old tester says. “I would definitely play it with my friends, and it’s easy to put together.” His three younger sisters loved it, too. ($39.99, franklinsports.com)

MISSION TO MARS

Blast off with the Lego Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance set. The rover can move across uneven surfaces and packs 360-degree steering and movable arms. The set includes the rover’s NASA helicopter companion, Ingenuity. Use the Lego Builder augmented reality app for instructions, 3D models you can rotate and zoom in on, facts about the NASA mission and more. Recommended for age 10 and older. ($99.99, lego.com)

ITTY BITZEE PET

The Bitzee Interactive Digital Pet isn’t just one virtual pet; it’s 15 in one pod! As you take good care of it — feeding, rocking it to sleep and even cleaning up after it — it grows from baby to adult to super Bitzee. Once the puppy, hedgehog, bunny, chameleon, unicorn or whatever becomes a super Bitzee, you can play a game. Bitzee was a big hit with both our 6- and 9-year-old testers. ($29.99, spinmaster.com)

SAVE THE CASTLE!

In this cooperative game, up to six players work together to stop the monsters from destroying Castle Bravehold. Don’t let the complicated-looking directions for Castle Panic Second Edition worry you — the Dized app made it easy enough for our 9- and 6-year-old testers, and they loved the game. ($34.95, firesidegames.com)

PLAY CATCH 2.0

Take a squishy orange ball and a gaming app, put them together and you get SmartBall. Play interactive games, enjoy music and sound effects, and get real-time audio coaching as you throw the ball around. It makes outdoor play feel like videogame time. You can even compete with players around the world in a virtual league. “I like how the ball gives you a bunch of different challenges,” says our 9-year-old tester. ($79, playfinity.com)

TAG TEAM

Get outside and make a few catches, passes and/or touchdowns! The Nerf 10 Player Flag Football Set comes with two sets of five flag belts and a mini Nerf football. The tear-away belts are adjustable for all sizes, including adults, and easy to use. ($29.99, franklinsports.com)

STAR MAKER

Be the star of your own show with Studio Creator 2 Video Maker Kit. It comes with an adjustable tripod, smartphone mount, green screen and ring light. Our 9-year-old tester loved creating her own content, but she cautions that you make sure to “flatten the creases in the green screen” before getting to work. ($34.99, amazon.com)

DIGITAL DESIGNER

Spirograph Doodle Pad gives you classic fun without all the paper and markers. Create colorful designs on the screen, then start again with just the push of a button. Built-in storage makes it easy to take with you. “I like that I can use it in the car,” says our 8-year-old tester. That is, when she can get a turn from her 12-year-old brother and 10-year-old sister. ($24.99, playmonster.com)

MARBLE MANIA

Launch marbles through wheel chutes, sliders, loops and trampolines with the Marble Run Stunts Starter Set. Our 8-, 10- and 12-year-old testers agree that the set is super fun and easy to put together. You can get more building ideas from the Marble Genius app, as well as extend, mix and match with two other stunt sets. ($49.99; Super Set $59.99; Extreme Set $89.99; marblegenius.com)

PUZZLE IT OUT

Put your solving skills in play with the Duncan Brain Game Set. You get three handheld puzzles: Color Shift Puzzle Ball, Quick Cube 3×3 and Serpent Snake Puzzle. Match, twist and turn your way to the challenging solutions. Our 9- and 11-year-old testers say the set would make “a good stocking stuffer.” ($17.99, duncantoys.com)

A LIGHT TOUCH

It’s Lite-Brite without the pegs. With Lite-Brite Touch, “you can create your own animation, which is really cool,” our 9-year-old tester says. Press the color-changing buttons on the board to light them up. It comes with games you can play by yourself or with friends. The portable design makes it perfect for traveling. ($29.99, basicfun.com)

Learning Morse code can be a fun and rewarding experience. It may seem daunting at first, but with practice, anyone can learn to interpret and transmit messages with dots and dashes.

Use this helpful tool to translate between Morse code and text. To begin, please enter words or Morse in the Input box and press Translate.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR USING THE MORSE CODE TRANSLATOR

How to translate Morse to text:

• Enter Morse dashes or dots into the input box using period (.) and minus sign (-)
• Morse letters must be separated by 1 space
• Morse words must be separated by 3 or more spaces
• You can use / to separate Morse words. There must be at least 1 space before and after each separator used

How to translate text to Morse code:

• Enter text into input box
• Characters that cannot be translated into Morse will be ignored
• If both Morse and text is entered, the converter will assume Morse mode

The Morse Generator and Translator is based on code developed by Kurt Grigg.

WHAT IS MORSE?

Morse code is a method of communicating with a series of sounds or lights that can be understood only by someone who knows the code.

Each Morse symbol represents either a letter or number and is represented by a unique sequence of dots and dashes. The duration of a dash is three times the duration of a dot.

Samuel F.B. Morse invented a code that was used to send messages over electric telegraphs in the 1830s. The SOS distress signal — three dots, three dashes, three dots — proved to be a simple way to communicate in an emergency.

With the invention of the telephone (and, later, two-way radios and cellphones), Morse is nowadays used mostly just for fun by amateur radio operators. Certain amateur radio bands are still reserved for Morse code use.

Are you interested and codes and ciphers? Find out how to make a secret-code wheel or invisible ink on Scoutlife.org.

HOW CAN I LEARN MORSE CODE?

One of the best ways to start learning Morse is to use an online translator like the one on this page. These tools give you the chance to practice and test your abilities.

A chart like this one can also help you learn Morse code by visualizing the dots and dashes on the letters of the alphabet:

A great way to practice is by listening to Morse transmissions on the radio. Many amateur radio operators still use Morse, and you can tune in to their transmissions and try to interpret the messages. You can also join a amateur radio club or group to practice with other enthusiasts.

Learning Morse may seem like an outdated skill, but it can be a fun and rewarding hobby. It can also be useful in emergency situations when other forms of communication are unavailable. With a bit of practice and dedication, anyone can become proficient and enjoy the thrill of transmitting and receiving messages in this classic code.

It’s the season for wish lists and giving gifts. To help you get started on your holiday shopping, here’s our annual Scout Life guide for some of the hottest toys and games of the year. Each top toy was kid-tested and approved.

MIX IT UP

Mix your own music with just a punch, swipe, twist or flick of the handheld RUKUSfx Motion-Controlled Music Mixer. It comes with more than 120 music tracks and 80 sound effects, and you can also record your voice and upload favorite tunes. Our 9-year-old tester really got into it after watching the video tutorial. “I like the different music and sound effects,” she says. “My favorite sound is ‘ew’!” ($49.99, rukusfx.com)

MEASURE UP

“Who knew you can measure in squirrels?” our 8-year-old tester says about the T.A.P.E.S.! party game. Measurements have never been sillier — or more fun. You and your friends will measure dimensions of everyday objects by chicken eggs, gummy bears, bananas and more. ($27.99, hogwildtoys.com)

A GOOD BAT TIME

The Turbo Boost Batmobile RC will help you save Gotham City. With its turbo speeds and wheelie-popping action, our 8-year-old cousin testers rate it as “niiiice!” and “awesome pants!” The custom controller makes it easy for the youngest drivers to play, too. ($44.99, spinmaster.com)

IT’S A BIRD! IT’S A PLANE! NO, IT’S A DINO!

How would you like a dinosaur with a 10-inch wingspan flying around your room? With just a little help from her mom, our 9-year-old tester was able to assemble the Jurassic Park: Dominion Flying Pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus. While the motorized dino circles overhead, you can check out fun facts about it in the included brochure. ($19.95, store.thamesandkosmos.com)

BOUNCY ACTION

With paddles like mini trampolines, the Koosh Paddle Play Set provides lots of bouncy action. Bounce the Koosh ball back and forth with a partner — moving farther and farther apart for a challenge. By yourself, see how high you can get the ball going. Since the paddles are lightweight, you can even hold one in each hand and bounce the ball from hand to hand. ($16.99, playmonster.com)

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT

Our brother and sister testers loved Catch the Moon. The game is recommended for ages 8 and up, but our 5-year-old tester really got into it, too. “We had a lot of fun and made a really tall ladder tower,” says the 8-year-old. “I also think it is sort of suspenseful, but in a fun way.” One word of caution: The ladders are made of a very soft wood, so be careful not to break them. ($34.95, store.thamesandkosmos.com)

FAST-PACED PLAY

You have to think and act fast with Match Madness. Be the first to match your blocks to the patterns on the playing cards. There are 60 challenges and five different levels of difficulty. Our 13-year-old tester loved it. He says, “It’s a really fun game for older kids and their parents to play together.” ($29.99, foxmind.com)

QUICKSANDY FUN

Be the last jungle explorer standing in the quicksand! With the Sink n’ Sand game, players take turns removing sticks from the Kinetic Sand platform to see whose character falls in next. “It’s a fun game. At first the instructions are a bit complicated,” our 7-year-old tester reports. “I’m a fan of Kinetic Sand, so it’s not messy and not a problem for me to clean up.” ($21.99, spinmaster.com)

GO YO-YO

Duncan’s Hornet Yo-Yo is designed for advanced looping tricks and high performance. Its ball-bearing axle allows for long spin times, and this latest design has been updated for better response. Get going with competitive two-handed play. ($9.99, yo-yo.com)

MONSTER JAM DRAGON ACTION

It’s simple but fun: Launch your monster truck over lava onto the castle turret or into the dragon’s mouth. The Monster Jam Dueling Dragon playset is easy to put together. Several ramps are included for lots of monster truck stunt action. Our 8-year-old tester went back to play with it again and again. ($16.99, monsterjam.com)

POWER TO THE PAPER

Launch paper planes into powered flight with the PowerUp 4.0 RC Paper Plane. It includes an on-board flight computer, autopilot assist, gyro, accelerometer and two propellers. There was a learning curve with control, but our 8-year-old tester soon got the hang of it. (She doesn’t recommend the foam and balsa wood add-ons, which were hard to build and didn’t hold up in crashes.) ($89.99, poweruptoys.com)

ALL ABOARD!

If you’re into trains, the Switch & Signal game is for you. As our 8-year-old tester reports, “It’s fun a game to play as a team.” Cooperation is the key. Be the team that makes your trains the best at running on schedule and delivering goods. There are two game boards, one featuring train routes of North America and the other of Europe. ($47.99, store.thamesandkosmos.com)

CHAIN-REACTION

Action ZipLinx calls itself “high-flying chain-reaction fun.” With pieces that can launch up to 6 feet high, it takes classic domino toppling to the next level. The first-time rubber-band setup can take a while, but it’s worth the work. Our 5- and 8-year-old brother and sister testers had a blast making slow-motion videos to rewatch the action. ($19.99 Hi-Fly set, $44.99 Triple Tower Blast set; ziplinx.com)

CODE+CONTROL

Robo Dozr is a robotic bulldozer that you build, along with its wireless controller. Our 8-year-old tester needed some help assembling it, but then she was soon driving it, as well as programming routes and using it to deliver stuff. She says, “I like coding it and honking the horn.” ($59.95, store.thamesandkosmos.com)

SWEET SCIENCE

Science and math have never been tastier than with the Lollipop Lab. You’ll master info on crystallization, as well as temperature, measurements, conversions, volumes and weight as you create red cherry and blue raspberry lollipops. And, yes, our 6-year-old tester confirms they’re delicious! ($21.95, store.thamesandkosmos.com)

BUILD AND WIRE IT UP

It’s a construction and circuitry mash-up with Snap Circuits BRIC: Structures. Build more than 20 brick projects wired up with lights, sounds and moving parts. Our 8-year-old tester was able to follow the instructions mostly on her own, as well as make her own modifications so the House of Lights also included sounds. ($55.99, elenco.com)

A-MAZE-ING RACE

Build your own 3D mazes, swap boards with your opponent and race balls through them with Maze Racers. With endless possibilities, the magnetic walls make creating easy. Although the game is recommended for players ages 7 and up, our 5-year-old tester says he also had a blast with it. ($39.99, foxmind.com)

I SPY A PRIVATE EYE!

The Master Detective Toolkit is all you need to start investigating. With 25 different experiments, gather evidence through fingerprints, shoe prints and tire tracks, as well as analyze hair, fiber and soil samples. Codebreaking, secret symbols and invisible ink also play a part in the fun. Our 8-year-old tester needed a little help from Dad but loved all the activities. ($49.95, store.thamesandkosmos.com)

FOAMY FUN

Our 5- and 8-year-old testers (as well as their parents) are big fans of Fömalanche. The machine cranks out lots of light foam to play in — it’s even more fun on a windy day. Mom was thrilled because “the cleanup was easy,” since the foam dissolves on its own and doesn’t leave anyone very wet. ($50, fommania.com)

IT’S A TOSS-UP

Get ready for some friendly backyard competition with TowerBall, which takes the toss game to a new level. Our teen sister testers say it’s “loads of fun and harder than it looks. It’s very well made and easy to put together.” Along with the collapsible tower, it comes with eight soft hackey balls and a backpack carrying case. ($189.99, calibergames.com)

FLIP OUT

With its Super Soft Technology foam tires, the Air Hogs Flippin’ Frenzy RC indoor vehicle is no danger to the furniture. Two different stunt modes allow it to spin around or flip from race car to muscle car and back again. “I like spinning it in circles really fast,” reports our 9-year-old tester. ($49.99, spinmaster.com)

ON THE GO

You can take the Valor Kick Scooter pretty much anywhere. It is lightweight and folds down small enough to fit in your backpack or locker. With its shocks and anti-rattle T-bar, rides are smooth and quiet. Also, the platform deck is more “foot friendly,” according to our 8-year-old tester. He says, “It doesn’t hurt your legs if it swings around and smacks you.” For ages 8 and up. ($99, valorscooter.com)
