Congratulations Andy! We all know and have discussed the importance of reaching the young folks. I also read in the Dispatch where the COSG club set up a modular layout at a recent Boy Scout Jamboree. Perhaps we can twist Jeff's arm to start up a column in the Dispatch highlighting our collective efforts to work with young people with items like I cited above as well as other youth oriented topics. The best one to head this up could be one of the younger NASG members.
