There I was, staying on a Tropical Island for 1-2 months at a time.
Gotta stay busy and be productive.
Time to give back.
I'm gonna start a Ecology Club in Negril.
I gotta get some T-shirts and caps for the youths of Negril as uniforms.
Last time I was at my inlaws house, there were kids all over the place hanging around, with nothing to do.
Gosh darn it, i'll give them something to do!
We will walk the beaches, and look for something to accomplish.
A field trip was the best thing about going to school when I was young.
We can have meetings on the weekends at the Public Beach Parks.
We will be on the laptops, studying a little biology.
I'll get a microscope and a telescope.
Hmm, I gotta get a Boy Scout Handbook.
We can make kites.
I can teach them all to swim as good, if not better than i can.
(i swim very well)
Well, i'm gonna need a name.
Spoon's Eco Scouts?
Marko's Eco Scouts?
Marko's Eco Cadets?
I'll find one of the good kids or 2,
confident lads, natural born leader types.
I'll make him a Sargent Major, then have a whole bunch of corporal cadets.
I gotta get those T shirts and caps made.
Yelow and green should be good colors.
Attention!
Get your fingers out your noses.
We are on a mission.
Sargent Major, prepare the scouts for a march at 1300 hrs.
Bun a cheese as rations, a juice box too.
(later in the day i'll treat them to chicken and rice, makes the belly nice.)
So, if you see a man marching around with youngsters wearing yellow caps and green T shirts, give a hearty shout!
