LOCAL
SCOUTS PLAN RIVER CLEAN-UP FOR EARTH DAY
(APRIL 22,
2005--DAYTON, OHIO --- ) Local Cub Scout pack #222
from Dayton is planning to honor Earth Day picking up trash from
the banks of the Great Miami River. The
pack of 12 scouts will spend 2 hours this Saturday morning, Earth Day,
on the
banks of the Great Miami River by Deeds Point across from downtown
Dayton
clearing out litter and debris. Their goal is to make the area around
Deeds
Point a cleaner and safer area for boaters and for people who enjoy the
park.
Pack #222 has 12 boys ranging in age from 7 to 12.
As part
of their World Conservation badge requirements, the boys selected the
Earth Day
River Clean-up project as a service they want to provide to the
community. They
felt Earth Day was the perfect day to do this type of project that
helps the
environment. Pack #222 will start their
clean-up efforts at 9: 00 am and continue until around 11:00 am.
"April's
theme for our pack is Our Waterways, so when they heard about the river
cleanup, it was a natural match," said Steven Saus, Cubmaster of Pack
#222. He added, "Our Scouts want
the environment to be clean for all to enjoy."
Pack #222 is part of the Miami Valley Council of
the Boy
Scouts of America, and is sponsored by St. Vincent the Odd Catholic
Parish. Founded in 1930, the Cub Scouts
of America are celebrating thier 75th birthday this year.
The purpose of the Cub Scouts is to provide
an educational program for youth to build character, train in the
responsibilities of participating citizenship and to develop personal
fitness.
Pack #222 meets the 1st Thursday of every month at 6pm at St. Vincent
the Odd
Church at 7384 West Dayton Rd.
