Disaster Recovery - Alabama Tornadoes 2011

I apologize for not posting any new updates on "This Old Boy Scout patch" for the past week, but I have been busy working on Tornado Clean-Up here in Alabama.  Has not left too much time for making updates to the site.  However, we are now freed up a little and I will try to get back in rhythm with "Old Patches" from the past.

Here is a classic from the 1980's.  This patch comes from the West Coast (California to be exact) and is awarded to Boy Scouts who complete Disaster Conservation Projects.  The Tornadoes here in Alabama reminded me of this one from my collection.  It shows the before and after of what land can look like when cared for or overrun by natural forces or manmade disasters.  Think about your environment and control the things you have control over.  Pray for those who need assistance all across the South and do your best to assist those when called upon.  This patch should remind us of what is important as Scouts!
