To my American readers, do you remember Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts as a kid? Not everyone participated, but it's certainly a distinctly American experience. I participated in Brownies, which is Girl Scouts for girls in the second and third grades. Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts is meant to teach kids practical skills in a fun way that memorializes their achievements with badges they can display on their uniforms.
Well, some creative minds have created a nostalgic program for adults to help them shore up their personal and community sustainability skills with Eco Scouts. I signed up and attended the orientation. There will be six sessions in total:
1. Orientation
2. Backyard Composting and Food Waste
3. How to Organize a Litter Clean-Up
4. Repair and Reuse
5. Recycling Deep Dive
6. Waste and Watersheds
Here are some photos from Orientation:
