Girl Scout Troop 92 Junior Jamboree by Katie Carrell

On May 2, 3, and 4 the Girl Scouts of Frontier Council is holding the Junior Jamboree campout in Logandale, Nevada. Junior Troop #92 is working on their Bronze Award and will be holding a badge workshop for “Sky Search”. They would like to invite ASNLV to join them on the evening of the 3rd to show the girls some of those wonderful objects in the sky. They are requesting ASNLV members to bring their telescopes to the Clark County Fairgrounds to assist them with this project and outing.

The girls that will be attending this event are all juniors, ages 9-12. Please remember there may be 200-300 girls attending this event.

If you are interested in participating in this event, or have any questions, please go to the website and sign-up on the home page. We would appreciate you signing up early so we can make plans for that weekend.

Just a side note to this request. As you remember Troop 92 is the troop Katie Carrell, one of our members is in. This is the same troop that we did the star party for last September which was a huge success for our society. This is another great opportunity to interface with our future astronomers and promote our hobby to the public. We are hoping that we can again provide our services to such an outstanding group of girls and leaders in our community. Your support of this event will make it another society success.

Thank you for your support.
