Recycling Blizzard… I mean Blitz…

“So how badly do you want to go to Europe?”  – I can tell you the youth we had out this weekend recycling REALLY want to go to Europe/WJ’19!!  At times the weather was only mind numbingly freezing cold while the rest of the time it was a blizzard!  Some of the most extreme weather we have ever seen on a blitz and also some of the best numbers!  Like I said, we have some kids who REALLY want to go! There were times over the weekend watching the kids literally lean in to the wind to push through then losing sight of them in the snow – I thought we would call it quits early, but then the youth would come back to the van laughing and chatting about what they are most looking forward to in Europe and it quickly made it all worth it!  Our Scouts understand that the only way to succeed is through hard work and they are NOT affraid of hard work!

From our recycling king Scouter Mark: “Great job this weekend all, we canvased many areas that haven’t had visits in a while and it showed. In addition to the 369.5 dozen of bottles already cashed in and donations, and a full trailer of recyclables we also have 11 extra tote sacs full. It won’t be a record breaker, but it’s a great story for those travelling in 2019 and a great kick off for the 2018 recycling campaign. We will be out again in about three months, likely the first weekend in April. I will post to the calendar when the trailer is confirmed…”

Great job everyone!
