A scout is helpful

Details On the 50th Anniversary Environmental Protection Agency Award Program Term: January 1 December 31, 2021 The Environmental Protection Agency, as part... of a public awareness campaign to celebrate its first 50 years, has partnered with the Boy Scouts of America to create an award for members of troops, crews and ships. This new award will recognize youth who research and learn about the subjects of human health and the environment, as the EPA develops its vision for the next 50 years. The objective of the EPA award is to combine a variety of disciplines to challenge and educate youth; introduce them to the breadth of the EPA’s involvement in environmental protection and conservation; and encourage them to research, investigate, experiment, demonstrate, survey, and study air pollution, water pollution, solid and hazardous waste, and ocean dumping. Members must earn the Public Health merit badge and three additional merit badges from selected categories. Finally, they must participate in an environmental/public health community service project as part of an approved Scouting program.

Only 96 patches will be available in the Chattahoochee Scout Shop to be earned.

Quote for the day... "When we do good in the world, it does not matter how small we believe it to be. Kindness ripples, has an impact long after our connection is finished." Do a good turn today!
