Advancement & Fundraising Opportunity - Hazlet Clean Communities

posted Apr 19, 2018, 12:43 PM by James Borg

We have two Hazlet Clean Communities events coming up. This should allow most of the Troop to participate in at least one of these events. These 2 events, under 3 hours of work have the possibility of raising $1,000 for our Troop. That's a lot of Popcorn! These events are low impact and get you outside. Come out and support your Troop!

ADVANCEMENT & SOTY

This will count towards Conservation Related Service Hours, a requirement for rank advancement. This event will also be used as a substitute SOTY event. This means any Scouts that are short a SOTY event who attend a Hazlet Clean Communities event will earn the SOTY award. Scouts must participate for the full time the clean up is running to be credited.

EVENT INFO:

May 5 (Saturday) 7:45AM-9AM at Natco Park at Raritan High School (419 Middle Rd, Hazlet, NJ 07730). We will be cleaning the park area behind the high school. We will meet under the solar panels at Raritan High School.
May 12 (Saturday) 7:45AM-9AM at Natco Park at Gramercy at Lakeside Manor (410 NJ-36, Hazlet, NJ 07730). We will be cleaning the park area behind the restaurant. We will meet in the rear parking area of the restaurant.

We need to have a minimum of 40 attendees at each event to continue to participate in these Clean Communities Events.

Please email Mr. Borg if you will be able to participate. Include the full name of all those who will be participating in the cleanup; parents, siblings, and friends are welcome.

This is an opportunity to raise money for your Troop while assisting Hazlet Clean Communities with 1-1.5 hours of community service per event.

The township will provide all materials for the cleanup (you should bring your own work gloves if you have them).

Don't forget to bring a filled water bottle.
