Scouts Trash the Trash Day is an international Messengers of Peace project for Scouts around the world, where each Scout is challenged to bring a friend or family member along and pick up at least 2 pounds of trash each on the first Saturday in May.

Scouts around the world, are asked to bring a friend with them on this day of service in order to increase the impact of their trash-cleaning effort.

Scouts Trash the Trash Day is about more than just cleaning our planet, it is a day to show the world what Scouting is about, educate individuals about Scouting, and recruit new youth and adults into the Scouting movement.

Units are encouraged to set up a cleanup in their own communities, or they can join one of the two locations being coordinated by the Lake Erie Council.

Patches will be available to order at this link for $2.50/each.
