Little Chippers - FRA Program for Youth
Our Little Chippers program for young people, Future Rockhounds of America, is sponsored by the American Federation of Mineral Societies. Badges are earned for various aspects of the Lapidary Arts including collecting and identifying rocks and minerals. Young People whose parents are members are eligible to join. Meetings are scheduled monthly at times that fit into the youth's availability.
Currently these meetings are held at the advisor's home in Chatsworth on the first Sunday of the month from 9:30 to 11:30am. A parent or guarddian is required to attend with their child. Guests are welcome. Contact the advisor at the email below for directions.
Each meeting consists of a discussion of the activities required for completion of the current badge of interest as well or a craft project. The level of requirements for each badge is adjusted to the age and ability of the youth involved. Field trips or other activities are included when required by the different badges. Scheduled meetings are listed in the Calendar link on this web site.
