I'm organizing a set of presentations on weather for our local Boy Scouts (a
troop in Dutchess county, NY), and I'd dearly love to be able to arrange a tour
for them of a NWS office, or a university weather station, or something similar.

I've looked into the Albany NWS site - I don't see any obvious contact for tours
or public relations (other than weather spotters). I'm also looking into the
SUNY Albany Meteorlogy program - again not sure there who the best contact would
be.

Has anyone here done anything like this, who can direct me, or who has other
ideas?

Thanks,
Banty

You are probably looking for something more technical, but you may want
to contact a local TV station/meteorologist.
They would probably be willing to set something up and they usually have
good contact info on their websites.
Maybe even an e-mail to on-air met asking if they knew of programs
available in the area.....

Thanks. I think I'll start with Steve Caparizzo of WTEN, Albany.

I'm also open for any other ideas!

Cheers,
