The Mining in Today's World Patch Program explores all areas of the mining industry and the impact mining has in today's world.
As per Tyre L. Gray, Esq., president of the Nevada Mining Association:
“Americans born today will require more than three million pounds of mined materials in their lifetime. As new technologies continue to change the world, mining will produce the minerals needed to help shape our future. The Nevada Mining Association is thrilled to introduce Girl Scouts across the country to mining and to help create the next generation of leaders.”
The activities for the Mining in Today's World Patch Program are age-specific so that Daisies through Ambassadors can age-appropriately participate in this special opportunity! We thank the Nevada Mining Association for sponsoring this patch and giving Girl Scouts the opportunity to investigate mining in today's world.
