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 are available to order during registration at $2/each.
