Juniors

The Lincoln Gem & Mineral Club youth group participates in the Future Rockhounds of America (FRA) program, sponsored by the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies. Since following the curriculum of this program, we have had five juniors graduate to "Rockhound."

The group is led by Barb Ogg and Brett Jurgens. Currently, there are 16 paid memberships in the group.  Each month, a new lesson from the FRA curriculum is taught. Badges are earned as each lesson is completed, and handed out at an Awards Ceremony during the Christmas Party or Mid-Winter Swap.

Open to ages 6 through 15.

$3 per year membership (with responsible adult). All youth must have a responsible adult with them at all club meetings and functions. (No drop-offs) This is for their safety should something unforeseen happen.

Meetings: Lincoln Firefighters Reception Hall at 6:15 p.m. on the third Sunday of January (following the Mid-Winter Swap); Bethany Park Shelter House on the third Thursday of February, March, April, May, (may be different date or location in April & May, 2026 - watch for updates) September, October, November; and the first Sunday of December. (There are no meetings in June, July, or August, but watch for fun events to participate in over the summer months.)
