Minto Girl Scout Troop 2216 attended the Ashtabula Wind Energy Center dedication June 17, 2009. The scouts are working on their Silver Award, which requires 15 hours of leadership experience and 40 hours of work on a project, as well as earning a number of badges. One of the badges, called Eco-action, recommends visiting an alternative energy facility and learning more about how it works. The girls also talked to operations employees about renewable energy job opportunities during the tour.
