In Progress
Just as we require all of our leaders to abide by the Scout Oath and Law in order to set a good example for our young men I believe the time has come for the National Council to regulate its local councils when it comes to their environmental impact. Our resident camps still use Styrofoam trays three meals a day during the summer for example. I understand there are costs involved with investing in silver and plates and water usage and electrical bills to consider but we would not allow one of our councils to cut similar corners if the savings came at the expense of safety. Given the hyper-sensitive climate we live in regarding climate change and going green I would not want to see a story exposing such waste on the news. Far better for the BSA to garner some national attention for taking a lead role on the issue and help councils address the impact being environmentally conscious would have on their budgets.
