Aruanah Hill Educates, Entertains at Boy Scout Event

The Arunah Hill booth saw steady traffic for the weekend at UMass. Over 1,200 scouts camped out around Alumni stadium as part of ADVENTURE 2010, and most ended up coming past the Aruanah Hill booth during the day on Saturday.

Jim Zebrowski absolutely wowed the scouts. As a NASA solar system ambassador, Jim had plenty of props and great stories to keep the scouts fascinated. Jim developed a loyal following of scouts who came back for second or even third sessions. The NASA 3D Mars scape was also a big hit. Many thanks to the Hadley senior scouts, who staffed the display very ably.

Jim's scale model solar system was also a hit. Peter Scherff's meteorite collection and Jonathan Klinkowski's demonstrations of the RUM were also a draw.
