Champions of Nature

Planet Earth is our home. It provides us with all the things we need to live: air, water, and food. Earth also provides us with natural beauty like mountains, oceans, forests, and waterfalls. All these things are valuable resources that we need. Small actions impact our world, our home, and the planet Earth.

What do we celebrate this month? Have you participated in any activities related to it?
What is the difference between renewable natural resources and non-renewable natural resources?
What are the 3 R’s?
What are things that go in the trash and what goes in recycling? Where do those go?

Pack Shirts – Jarrod made a new Pack Shirt at Rust Library that if acceptable will only cost $6 per shirt and can be made as needed. Assuming the shirt is acceptable we will take orders in August, since we are close to the end of this Scouting “Year”, and make them at the same time as those for new Scouts joining the Pack.
