For Sea Scouts Sleeping in a cabin would not count for Camping MB because a cabin does not meet the requirement. Sleeping on the deck under the stars, or on shore in a tent, under the stars, etc would count. -

"There is limited secure on-site storage. Our instructors must drive ½ mile to get to the equipment and supplies every day and the return them each night." ??? Well if off-site is more secure? I would like to know more about the "secure storage" for this new OnTarget facility announced below. Locked room? Locked cabinet? Locked vault/safe? 24/7 alarm system? Cameras? De-leading hand washing? No mention of lead-free ammunition. Dry-fire shooting apps like Mantis , G-sight ? I am seeing more focus on "facility" than "teaching" in this proposal - reminiscent of my local school board, "The Heart of Virginia Council is planning a $1.4 million overhaul and expansion of the archery and shooting facilities at Camp T. Brady Saunders. The new facility, which will be called OnTarget, will include features like a 3D archery course with 10 stations, a shotgun teaching station, two multi-purpose instructional pavilions, a covered five-stand shotgun range, a 16-station rifle and pistol range and a 12-station archery range. The OnTarget name was provided by the $500,000 donor, Heart of Virginia Council CEO George McGovern added.

The main purpose is for them to have the activitity of looking at their actual trash, having the discussion and thinking critically. It is not about answering the question. My advice, have them list the specific trash and then brainstorm the 3 Rs for each item of trash. Also list different options which would produce less trash from the onset. ReReading my advice is just having them DO the requirement. So yeah, focus on that. -
The requirement says, "On a Scouting or family outing, take note of the trash and garbage you produce. Before your next similar outing, decide how you can reduce, recycle, or repurpose what you take on that outing, and then put those plans into action. Compare your results." What happens when your troop is very LNT? I'm trying to coach a few Scouts, but coming up short here. They could repackage some food items, but that introduces food safety issues. Everyone eats out of mess kits. The only trash being produced is usually meat packaging, maybe some bags protecting veggies, or a can or two. Thoughts on how to proceed here? -
