Join Girl Scouts of Manitou Council in helping create a cleaner and
more sustainable future by reducing the use of single-use plastics. As
part of our sustainability efforts, we're hosting a council-wide
single-use plastics recycling challenge from Monday, March 17
through Tuesday, April 22. This is available to troops or
individuals. Troops will compete together, with a troop leader
entering the entire troop's information. Individuals wishing to
participate must be 18+ years old to create an account, which is why
we recommend troops work together and the leader sets up the
account.
There will be weekly prizes for the troop or
individual at the top of the leaderboard that week. And at the end of
the contest, the troop at the top of the leaderboard will earn two
free overnights at Camp Evelyn or Camp Manitou!
Here's
how to participate:
- Download the Remora app.
- Join the community by setting up an account. For troops: One troop leader should set up an account. Troop members will report back to the troop leader of what they have done for the troop leader to enter it into the app.
- Join the Girl Scouts of Manitou Council Challenge by using code 456789. You can join the challenge at any time, but the sooner the better so you have time to reach the leaderboard!
- Watch the tutorial on how to make a post on the Remora app and get into the habit of recording your daily refusals and uses.
- Monitor your progress on the Challenge Leaderboard. You will earn points for both refusals and uses.
We created a flyer with all the important information for easy access! Remora has also provided us a full packet of contest information, examples of uses & refusals, and plastic facts. Access this using the "Learn More" button.
