Scouts Bottle Drive

19^th Nepean’s Cub pack and Scout troop with be doing a door-to-door bottle drive on 05-Apr and 12-Apr between 6:30pm and 8:30pm.  We will take recyclable cans and bottles off your hands, and use the refunds to help support the cost of programming and camps for the youth.  If you will not be home, you can leave your donation on your porch with a note saying “for Scouts” and we’ll retrieve them.  We will not be able to canvass the entire neighborhood in one evening, so will do Crofton and Lindhurst and west on 05-Apr, and the eastern remainder of the neighborhood on 12-Apr.  If you can’t wait until April to be relieved of accumulated cans and bottles, feel free to contact Scouter Charles at 613-596-0382, or at 19thNepeanScouts@gmail.com, to arrange an earlier pickup.  Thanks for your continued support!
