Around 250 Nassau County Girl Scouts along with 100 parents and chaperones joined AOS in celebrating International Observe the Moon Night. The Girl Scouts participated in an art project inside the Jones Beach Energy and Nature Center then joined AOS members outside on the boardwalk to observe the moon through telescopes and binoculars.
