      Make a litter Grabber stick

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      Build our own grabber gadget as a patrol project? Hmm, a scout is Thrifty,  maybe build a grabber for a scout Earth Day cleanup then give it to Mom for a Mothers' Day present?  Reduce, ReUse, Recycle.  I found two interesting DIY grabber projects on Youtube. Note for safety reasons, I did not want to make/use sharp poker sticks for litter pickup. This one seemed the simplest. While this one required woodworking tools and skills or a perhaps there is a scout-crafted solution out there?

      Make a litter Grabber stick

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      Safety is Job one which can be challenging with litter cleanup projects. We have been using gloves and grabber sticks as the scouts below. But buying grabbers ($15-25 each) limited the number we could bring to a cleanup, maybe there was another solution?

      Anybody Else Seeing This Trend?

      By jcousino · Posted

      love to see more like that a very focus session on a field that is rare plus requires great skills and equipment that the scouts would not normally see. i would love see more state parks work with scouting to make good use of the rangers skill plus highlighting that whole profession (would aid youth and adults skills)

      Mere Good Presentation versus Requirement?

      By BetterWithCheddar · Posted

      I agree the PowerPoint requirement is unnecessary, but I also think it's a pretty reasonable request. If this were my son, I'm not going to expend a lot of social capital to push back. Most kids learn how to use the free Google Slides program in school. As for the unnecessary paperwork - I know a lot of people who make good money by doing things like filling out 3 different forms with the same information and just keeping their mouths shut. 😉

      Catholics turn

      Well, not always. They do have full veto, but on some volunteers, that have had lets say a DUI, it is up to the COR to approve after council does the background check and says "well, it is up to the COR". Not common, but it does happen.
