Aggregate Industries’ Meyer Material Hosts Cub Scouts for Geology Activity Badge

Scouts get private tour of Algonquin mine to help secure geology activity badge 

Cary, IL: Aggregate Industries’ Meyer Material hosted Cub Scout Troop 657 August 19th for a morning tour of the Alqonquin Mine Site. The tour, ran by Randi Wille, the Regional Estates and Environmental Manager, began with a discussion about the earth’s geology, the differences between rocks and minerals, the rock cycle and how the minerals are used. After the discussion, Wille gave the scouts a tour of the mine while the boys collected rock samples and fossils along the way.

Wille stated, “Aggregate Industries is committed to supporting the needs of the communities in which we have operations, and we believe that being a good corporate citizen is a fundamental part of our business values. Any time we get a chance to help local kids learn about what we do, it’s a win-win situation for everybody.”

The Company has already agreed to expand the tour next year.
