Staff Report
 
Two banners belonging to Los Alamos Girl Scout Troop 116, who have worked so hard organizing RocketDay, have gone missing. 
 
Both banners were apparently stolen from the overpass on Diamond Drive, according to a troop spokesperson.

The banners, promoting RocketDay, were going to be given to her to keep after the event.
