Greetings! What a few months! So much good has happened since the new year. We launched the Reaching Our Orbit Campaign. We have self-sustaining activities worked out with Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. We have more interns than we know what to do with. Educated quite a few students on surveying. What can we say about the surveyors in 2012! They have once again stepped up to support their museum, and as we move forward, we shudder at what we will be with all this support. So here is a rundown of the latest and greatest at the museum. Remember your support and donations have got us this far. Thank you for all of your support. Sincerely, National Museum of Surveying Boy Scouts Pilgrimage & Boy Scouts Badge The surveying profession needs more young members. The museum needs more young people. Boy Scouts are young and need a surveying merit badge. While we have hosted a few troops seeking their merit badges, April 28th saw an entire day worth of surveying on the lawn of the Old State Capitol. Camped out on the lawn, Terry Macke and the Laurenzanas taught hundreds of Scouts the basics of surveying. They showed the Scouts the evolution of the equipment, how to measure using their pace and how to turn an angle. Even more exciting, the Boy Scouts of America, Abraham Lincoln Council, created the museum our very own badge. Scouts can earn the badge by touring the museum and completing a questionnaire about the tour. Scouts can still come as part of their surveying merit badge. For more information go to http://www.alincolnbsa.org/council_index.htm Thanks to everyone involved in the Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts 100th Anniversary and Badge Program During the first weekend of May, the museum participated in the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts. The museum showed the 1918 Golden Eaglet on the Science on a Sphere. The movie showed the Scouts their origin. To build on the relationship, the museum will now host a Letterboxing workshop and a Geocaching workshop in November and December. Out of the workshops, the museum hopes to develop a standalone packet so Scouts can come to the museum and earn their badge individually or in a troop. Reaching Our Orbit Campaign The campaign is off and running. In May, Bob Church asked state associations to pledge a donation to the museum based on their size. The museum has heard great feedback, and today, Wisconsin has pledged $2,500 a year for five years. Please be next, it is for our future. In case you haven't heard! The museum has received a firm commitment from an undisclosed source to match dollar for dollar all donations up to $200,000 with all the money going towards paying down our mortgage. Help secure the future of the museum by pledging today. The Florida Surveyor July 2012 35
