The Cub Scouts did a service project for our post today. They met up with Mr Smith from DPW and helped clean up trash for around the family housing area. Afterwards they got to meet two environmental scientists who talked to them over at the water treatment facility and got to test the pH of our tap water to make sure it was safe for us to drink. Doing all this they not only helped out the community but also earned part of their Science Belt Loop.
First we had our safety briefing (boring) and got to put on cool blue gloves (much more interesting).
The Webelos put their arms out and combed the area military style making sure they didn't miss anything!
The Tigers went around and we played the game of "I can find more trash than you", it helped because they were all bored with looking for trash about 5 minutes after we started but when you make a game of it, the fun lasts for hours!!
Evan beat me by 18 points by the way. I'm not sure how we got points while playing the game but oh well he ended up with a big bag of trash by the end of the morning!
Proud to be helping out (even it he had to walk a lot).
The Tigers getting ready to meet with the scientists!
Evan got to stick the pH stick in the cola to see how acidic it was.
It's pH was purple by the way! Which in Tiger speak means the cola's pH was 3.
Helping calibrate the instruments and asking questions!
