Eleven scouts in Pembroke's troop 105 were given “Best Show”
awards for the “Sustainability in Recycling” comedy video they made August 18,
2013 while collecting electronic devices to help raise money for summer camping
and other outings. That silly five minutes of gallivanting fun is playing on www.pembrokecommunitymedia.com
in the “more fun videos” section.
The boys did double duty by collecting donated items and
recording themselves at the same time.
Pembroke Media's Executive Director of Marketing Cathie
Briggette and Assistant Scout Master Jim Twigg organized the event which was
advertised a week earlier with flyers distributed at the Pembroke Arts
Festival, announcements posted around town, and an e-mail blast sent to
interested residents.
Leaders and dads Jim Lapham, Rob Larsen, and Matt Giese were
on Pembroke Green during a concert to supervise uniformed scouts Luke Lapham,
Connor Giese, Nick Shea, Ryan Larsen,
Kyle Keogh, Riley Larsen, C J Perry, Justin Gaiser, Lenny Lapham, Ryan Gaiser,
and Evan Stockdale during both the shoot and drive which started in sunny
conditions and ended with a light rain.
In an appreciated letter to Troop 105, Pembroke Media wrote:
“The combined efforts
of our two organizations provided the motivation for donation of nine Hewlett
Packard, two Kodak, four Cannon, and four Lexmark items. Seven cell phones, one small camera, and ten
miscellaneous electronic pieces also were donated by the public and collected
by Troop 105 scouts.
“The recyclables were sent to and processed by Planet Green
in Chatsworth, California.
“Pembroke Community Media applauds and congratulations all
the young men who actively helped that rainy August evening both with the
recycling drive and with making the light-hearted commemorative video.”
Twigg expressed his pleasure with how well the Pembroke Media
event went and the money raised for scouting. “We are going to put the check
from Pembroke Media in the general fund, mainly for camp which is the third
week in July in Plymouth.
“The boys do a lot of community service like the bottle drive
and popcorn sales for the cub scouts, and the October coffee cake sales for the
boy scouts. Cakes bought in October were delivered before Thanksgiving so you
could have it as a desert or as an appetizer,” Twigg joked. “Did you know that Grandma's cakes come in
about 15 different flavors? We bought
some of them to try at the meetings for research to make sure they all tasted
good.”
