Dear Scout Leaders and Parents:
Welcome to our Weekly Challenge Email for the week of May 11. These challenges revolve around a theme that Scouts, parents and families can do together while Scouting at Home. This week’s theme is “Sprout & About”.

Sprout & About Challenge
The weather is turning warmer, so what better time to get outside and do some gardening. Plant a garden to beautify your yard or to grow your own vegetables. You’ll find a lot of enjoyment watching the things you plant Sprout & About in the coming months.
All Scouts
-
Plant something outside like a flowering plant, an herb or a vegetable.
-
Help your parents in the garden or yard.
-
Use seeds to plant a flower, vegetable or herb garden in an egg carton in your home.
-
Propagate and grow fruits and vegetables from kitchen scraps.
-
Measure rainfall this week by using a cup with a ruler taped to it.
