For our 4th year in a row, on 1/6/2024 several youth and adult members of the Miami Shawnee ember assisted with the annual Styrofoam and battery recycling event organized by the Montgomery County (Ohio) Environmental Services department. This year we collected an estimated 500 pounds of old batteries - enough to fill nearly 11 five-gallon buckets! Separately, 2.5 semi-trailers full of an estimated 9000 pounds of Styrofoam were also collected for recycling! (12 ember participants, plus numerous scouts/adults from Troops 516 and 515)
