This September, we are again pledging the support of our Cub Packs, Scout BSA Troops and Venture Crews for the California Coastal and Inland Waterway Cleanup.
California Coastal Cleanup Day will be this Saturday September 17. Our council is committing to the whole month of September. Scouts units in the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council can hold cleanups at any beach or waterway.
Attached links Conservation Programs. Scouts may use this event towards earning their Soil and Water Conservation Merit Badge, the BSA Distinguished Conservation Service Award Program , the Conservation Good Turn Award, Keep America Beautiful Hometown USA Award
Also, Cubmasters, please review your unit’s summer activities. The National Summertime Pack Award is available for your unit. All units may participate to also earn the World Conservation Award.
The purpose of the cleanup is to beautify the beaches, learn about the coastal environment and have fun! Your unit can go to the same beach as last year, or you can change beaches if you choose. If your unit is new to California Coastal and Inland Waterway cleanup, please go to the beach of your choice. Volunteers from the various coastal organizations will be at selected beaches, please bring your own equipment and bags and gloves. Scouts should wear their uniform, a-unit t-shirt, or another for Scouting apparel while at the cleanup.
Every Scout Leader, and participating family member (brothers, sisters, cousins, parents, etc.) may earn a Coastal Cleanup patch for participating. The patch design won’t be revealed until the end of the month. The patch will be available for purchase at cost.
