SERVICE PROJECTS
|
| In 1997, the BSA committed to providing 200 million hours of service
to America by it's youth members each year. This idea
of "doing for others" has been a central point in scouting
since it's inception. Service projects are also a requirement for
most ranks, including Star, Life, and Eagle Scout. |
| Service Project, December 2005 Troop 45 Scouts spend
several hours serving as traffic control for the community Christmas
parade. |
| Service Project For Cubs, October 2005 Our Scouts
spent the weekend at the council Cub Family Weekend teaching basic
pioneering skills and building a tower as a means of introducing Boy
Scouting to Cub Scouts. |
| FUMC Service, September, 2005: Troop 45 scouts cleaned and
mopped the floor in the FUMC Fellowship Hall, CLC kitchen, hallways,
etc., and set up chairs in the CLC for the Contemporary Service the next
day. This was to aid the Red Cross in cleaning up after they had
used the facilities for hurricane Katrina refugees. |
| Eagle Project, 2005: Patrick McFadyen obtains and installs, with the
help of the Starkville Fire Dept., blue reflective street markers
to identify fire hydrant locations in parts of the city. |
