City Problem Solvers
Heads up Scouts, and Scout Leaders, City Problem Solvers Inc., a registered 501c3 has started their annual City Wide Clean-Up campaign known as “the San Antonio Cleanup Countdown”, where each month they will be in a different district in San Antonio doing a cleanup which will create an opportunity for representatives and local residents of each district to come together and participate in the campaign in one way or another.
This is a great opportunity for any scouts, and scout leaders that would like to participate in working towards improving the health and well being of the city, and achieve some service project hours for whatever rank or merit that you are currently working towards.
We truly encourage you, and representatives from each district to get involved and help out with these worthy, and worthwhile cleanup campaign opportunities.
For more information including registering or finding out about other ways to get involved you can either scan the QR Code on the Campaign Flyer or go to the following links:
