The Chickasaw Council serves nearly seven thousand youth in seventeen counties in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. The dedicated council staff, along with an army of incredible volunteers works tirelessly to deliver a quality year-round program that meets the advancement and enrichment needs of our youth members, through Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA (Boy Scouts), Venturing, Sea Scouts, and Exploring.

The mission of the Chickasaw Council, Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. The vision of the Chickasaw Council is to foster the character development, citizenship training and physical fitness of young people through an emphasis on outdoor program experiences to prepare them to be responsible, contributing members of society over their lifetime by instilling values based upon those found in the Scout Oath and Law.

The Nobody Trashes Tennessee Patch Program aims to get Tennessee’s youth involved in cleaning up our state while educating them about the harmful impacts of litter and also teaching them to take pride in their beautiful state.

By participating in a litter cleanup service project, participants are living the Boy Scout Promise of “helping people at all times”.

To earn the Nobody Trashes Tennessee patch, troops participate in a community cleanup initiated by the troop or as part of an organized cleanup near them. Following are several ways to get involved:

For All Scouts

To encourage packs, troops and crews to join with conservation or environmental organizations (federal, state, local or private) to carry out a Conservation Good Turn in their home communities. Find out more here!

For Cub Scouts

To encourage Cub Scouts to become active in the outdoors; may be earned as a Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos Scout. Find out more here!

These educational worksheets include engaging activities and lessons to understand the importance of litter prevention. This allows the younger age groups to get involved with the movement and earn a patch. Bring the scavenger hunt worksheet to the Scout Shop to receive your patch.
