Conservation and Cardboard Camping!

March 30, 2021 by Laura Nichols

Inspired by Troop 2000 in Coralville, Iowa (highlighted in a recent issue of Boy’s Life), Troop 440 scouts hosted their own cardboard campout in early March at the Izaak Walton League of America- Lois Green Sligo chapter. With advice from Troop 2000’s SPL and Scoutmaster who “zoomed” in to a troop meeting prior to the campout, T440 spent two nights in their individually designed and self-built cardboard structures.

Additionally the scouts left the space a little nicer, after completing an extra successful service/trash collection project from the back side of the IWLA property where they amassed a bicycle frame, part of an outboard motor, 26 tires and 4 large bags of trash, all of which the county transfer station was happy to accept.

Troop 440  is especially grateful to our new scout friends in the Midwest for sharing their tips and tricks for a successful cardboard structure!
