Troop 10

Adopt-A-Highway

WHAT: Troop 10 maintains a stretch of 69 Highway, from 167th Street to 174th Street. Scouts, provided with safety vests, patrol both sides of the highway and bag trash for later pick-up by Kansas Department of Transportation workers.

 

WHY:    This is a great service project for our community.  It provides service hours, and counts as a troop activity for rank advancement.  This is a semi-annual Troop Commitment so ALL SCOUTS NEED TO HELP, even if you don’t need the credit.

 

WHEN:             Saturday, October 6th, 2007   9:00 am -11:00 am

Please try to arrive around 8:45 am to get organized and complete needed paperwork!

 

WHERE:           We will meet at the maintenance building located on the northeast corner of 167th Street and 69 Highway. (Note: the only exit at 167th is for southbound traffic and the only entrance is for northbound traffic.)

 

                        WHO:   All Troop 10 Scouts and parents to help with safety management.

 

HOW:  Each participant must have a signed (by both the scout and his parent) waiver on file (good for two years). These can be obtained from Mark Morrison the morning of the Clean Up.
(Parents: If you are dropping off your scout, be sure to see me to complete a waiver before you leave.)
