just ask Juniors role model and Everett Rookie Rockhound LAURA CIMOLINO, pictured receiving one of her three Competition Awards from Past President Chuck Sonner. Judging Director Dee Holland is in the middle of the photo taken at the 2007 NFMS Awards Banquet in Butte, Montana. |
If you believe that the above opportunities are not interesting enough or challenging enough or maybe too complex and costly for your skills, talents and resources, then consider the AFMS/Future Rockhounds of America Merit Badge Program. The complete program is posted on the AFMS Website Juniors Page at www.amfed.org that explains how to get the materials and how to get started. Besides the nine original badges, Jim Brace-Thompson, your able AFMS Juniors Program Chair has recently amended the Merit Badge Program to also include six new areas: Earth Processes (including igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks), Earth in Space (focused mostly on meteorites and tektites), Gold Panning & Prospecting, Gemstone Lore & Legend, Stone Age Tools & Art, and Rocking on the Computer. This immense opportunity is available on the AFMS Website and if you do not have a computer, how far is the nearest Public Library computer? What is really exciting about the Merit Badge Program is that you can work towards the badges either individually or as a Juniors Rock Club together. Want to start? Just ask and then PARTICIPATE so you can begin or continue your journey towards becoming a famous "rockstar" Geologist. | |

Rockhound Louise Sanderson says she will be the Juniors Advisor for the Whidbey Island Gem Club, but at this time they only have one Junior,
NICHOLE BECKER age 13 in photo pictured in front of her fabulous display case of geodes and thundereggs. Every Juniors Rock Club starts with one and grows from there, just add rocks as "fertilizer"? |
