[Chicago Astronomer - Astro Joe]

Niles Scout Troop in need of an Astronomer

I received a note from a Scoutmaster who is looking for an astronomer to come and talk to his Scouts about any area of astronomy....

Hello,

My name is Greg and I am the Scoutmaster for Boy scout troop 175 in Niles. I came across your sight on the Internet and I was wondering if you might know of anyone who would be willing to come and talk to our troop about Astronomy ? This would be on Jan 10th. We meet in Niles at St. John Brebeuf school around 7 pm. We would be looking for someone to speak roughly 20-40 minutes. This could be on any particular topic in Astronomy that the speaker felt like discussing.

Please let me know if you know of anyone who would be available to help the Scouts learn about Astronomy.

Warm Regards.

Greg

If any Chicago Astronomers are free and in the area, it would be nice to lend a hand in the Scout Troop's Astronomy badges.

Let me know.

Joe, please have him email me.

I doubt I can do it, but if nobody else is free, I will see what I can do. And it will depend on the weather.

If in town, I would do this in a heartbeat. At this point, it would be a long shot for me to make it, but if I am back in town, I would be happy to join this talk. I am comfortable speaking in front of people, and will set up a telescope without the slightest provocation. :-)

If somebody does decide to go, please stay in touch with me. I never got my astronomy badge!
