Ahoy Scouts and Parents,
Having been in contact with The Boatwerks at Harry R Male Shipyards this morning I have some unfortunate news. The boatwerks is severely lacking in supplies for an expected upcoming order to build cardboard boats in support of a regatta. The are asking for the following supplies to be donated and are accepting donations starting tonight.
1. LARGE cardboard boxes for boat hulls
2. STURDY cardboard boxes for seats and fixtures
3. Leftover or "OOPS" paint
4. Varnish to seal the boats (water based polyurethane is probably a good substitute)
5. Reinforced paper tape OR duct tape but the paper tape is better
6. Used or cheap paintbrushes (novice shipwrights are notoriously bad painters and most likely wont properly take care of these so please dont expect them to be returned)
Fair winds and following seas,
Capt. Lunsford
