Cans and bottles needed for Camp DuPortail!
| |
Hello! My name is Veronica and I am the Camp DuPortail (Cub Scout Program) Ecology Director at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation. To make this summer educational and fun, I am having Cub Scouts make 'critter finders' out of food cans and the plastic from old Ziplock bags, old teacher transparency sheets, or similar materials. In order to get the supplies we need for this activity, we would be greatly appreciative if local Scout units could collect used cans. I believe using the cans that other Scouts collected would be a great way to inspire the Cub Scouts to further their Scouting career as well as showing them how fun recycling and reusing items can be! We also need about 200 standard size (16.9 oz) water bottles. You may drop these items off at the Beaver Family Service Center, Reading, or at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation, Schuylkill Haven. Thank you for helping make this year's summer program a great success.
Yours in Scouting,
Veronica R.
