You are invited to send a photographer and/or reporter to cover the following scouting event at the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant on Saturday, Jan. 20.

  What:      More than 2,000 scouts are expected to attend the Energy
             Encounter Scout Day on Saturday, Jan. 20, an annual Florida
             Power & Light-sponsored event at the St. Lucie power plant on
             Hutchinson Island.

             FPL and more than 20 other community organizations will set up
             outside booths for an event designed to provide an opportunity
             for all levels of girl and boy scouts to earn a variety of
             badges, many with environmental and energy-related themes.
             Scouts and their families also will tour the Energy Encounter,
             which contains 30 permanent displays, including interactive
             computer games and an energy treasure hunt in which
             participants earn a free prize.  Scouts can also walk on the
             one-mile Turtle Beach Nature Trail, tour the Marine Life Touch
             Tank and the simulator (where reactor operators are trained and
             tested) and even take a perimeter plant tour.

  Who:       Some of the Scout Day exhibitors include such diverse
             organizations as the Mets baseball team, the Garden Club of
             Stuart, the American Red Cross, St. Lucie Sheriff's Department
             and the Save the Manatee Club.

  When:      Two sessions will be conducted for the Scouts -- one from
             9 a.m. to 12 noon and the second from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

  Where:     FPL Energy Encounter is located at FPL's St. Lucie nuclear
             power plant on Hutchinson Island between Stuart and Ft. Pierce.
