WESTFIELD – The Girl Scout “Westies” Service Unit, which consists of eight troops from West Springfield and Westfield, attended an observing event just for them on Friday evening, Nov. 8, hosted by the Westfield High School Space and Astronomy Club.

“We observed the moon, Saturn and a double star. Club members operated the telescope, gave tours of the night sky and explained what could be seen through the eyepiece,” said Girl Scout leader Patricia Carr.
