Earth Day at Annapolis Beach

On occasion the boys get opportunities to do outings with their fellow scouts. This time the whole family was able to pitch in.

Daryn and the boys scan for glass.

The boys' Cub Scout troop participated in a community service project in conjunction with Earth Day. We all went down to the beach at 11 a.m. and donned our volunteer gear and starting picking up the beach. The glass was hard to see, especially when it was wedged among the rocks. The kids were easily distracted when they discovered wildlife in the form of crabs. We took the opportunity to have a science lesson on the beach! Evyn found some rusted metal cording. Amber decided she needed to rid the beach of terra cotta tiles ... so our bag was amazingly heavy by the time we returned to our starting point. We spent an hour scouring one side of the pier while others took the opposite route. We had a great time together ... scouts and families.


Finding things of interest.


Five of these bags were collected by us.

What a great feeling of achievement for our planet!
