Service Project for Cub & Boy Scout Units

 

For many years, the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts of Limestone County have picked up trash during and after the Annual Fiddler's Convention at the Athens State University campus.

I would like to invite all Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts of the Arrowhead District to participate in this very worthwhile service project. By picking up trash, we are saving the University many dollars. And plus, the scouts will get a new outlook on those that liter.

We will be picking up trash on Sunday, October 5 beginning at 1:00 PM. We will gather together in front of Founder's Hall (big, white building – directions below).  Please wear your Scout uniform shirt or a Scout T-shirt.

You can also pick up trash on Saturday, October 4 while the event is going on. But you must wear your Scout uniform shirt in order to get into the event free of charge. The scout and 1 adult accompanying the scout will get in free. Things have changed for this year. Only 5 Scouts per hour will be able to pick up trash. And you must register for the time frame that you want. Here are the times that are available for picking up trash:

Saturday – 9:00 am - 10:00 am
Saturday – 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Saturday – 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Saturday – 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Saturday – 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Saturday – 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Saturday – 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Saturday – 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

You must send an email to Keith Hudy at keith.w.hudy@nasa.gov in order to register for picking up trash. The first 5 scouts to register for that hour will get the time that they request. I will use the date/time that I receive the e-mail in order to determine who was first. When sending the e-mail, you may want to list your second and third choices. You will get an e-mail back stating which time frame you have.

Once you arrive at the campus, please go directly to the Keep Athens Limestone Beautiful booth for trash bags. Please pick up trash for 1 hour and then enjoy the arts & crafts and musical festivities.



** Trash bags and gloves will be provided. **
