My child won third place in the Unique category at the Rain Gutter Regatta (cub scout competition in which the scouts design sailboats and race it down a rain gutter using their own breath as a source of wind). We used a recycled nail polish container as the boat, a straw as the mast and two plastic cups as the sail. We were very excited to see the interest level in using recycled materials and hope that future cub scout events will leverage and recycle materials as well. Our cub scout pack already supports eco-friendly efforts by collecting gently used uniforms and books from previous cub scouts and distributing them to the next group of scouts. It is exciting to see my children embrace recycling efforts.
