On Saturday, May 4, you and your friends can join Scouts around the world to help clean up our planet! We’ve organized two cleanups: one at Zilker Park and the other at Alamo Pocket Park. Or, you can organize your own group trash pick up by choosing a location, inviting friends and fellow Scouts and showing up with trash bags, gloves, and trash grabbers! Either way, each Scout is encouraged to bring a friend or family member and everyone is encouraged to pick up 2.2 pounds of trash.

If every Scout around the world collected at least 2.2 pounds of trash, we could remove 60 million pounds of trash from the world’s ecosystems. That’s the same weight as a medium sized ship or one of the new high rises in Austin!
