Local Scouts Help with ‘Building a better world’
Cub Scout Pack 765 AOL Den of Castro Valley recently completed one of their required adventures called “Building a better world.” Part of that requirement is to identify one energy problem in your community and see what they can do to help rectify it. The AOL Scouts decided to try to reduce paper waste and cut down on vehicle emissions as they noticed that often people would use multiple paper towels to dry their hands and also would leave their cars running for a long time while waiting in the school parking lots.
In order to be permitted to install signs, they contacted their schools administrators and got approval from the principal and the school district and then either made, printed or purchased signs to install. There are multiple signs that say things ranging from “No-Idle Zone, It all adds up to cleaner air” to “Save paper towels, Save Resources and Save the planet.”
Cub Scout Pack 765 members are: Adam McVay, Alden Pak, Briham Tryeman, Brody Huntington, Caleb Chen, Illyas Radwan, and Nova McVay, and Gabe Calderon.
Most of these Scouts have been together for the last 6 years as part of Cub Scout Pack 765 and will be going on a final backpacking trip and camping at a coastal camp as a final hurrah prior to advancing to Scouts BSA.
Congratulations Scouts on a job well done and doing such a find job on representing our community.
