More Service Project Opportunities
Many service opportunities exist for all types of Units. Some are well-known, others are not. Glance through and see what opportunities are possible your Unit would enjoy doing.
Project |
Organization |
Comments |
Food pantries / kitchens |
MUST, Never Alone |
Help stock, distribute, and/or serve |
Improvements / entertainment |
E.g., Woodstock Nursing and Rehabilitation |
Different projects have been done, e.g, bird-houses, and, Holiday singing has brought cheer to the residents, especially seeing Scouts involved. |
Various nature projects |
Corps of Engineers / City governments (Parks & Rec) |
A list of projects awaits Scouts from the Corps. Checkout their pamphlet for more information and contacts. Also checkout you local city's Parks and Recreation department. They have lists of projects. E.g., the new Woodstock City Park off Trickum Rd. is brand-new and will be in-need of projects done. |
Adopt a Stream |
Adopt and cleanup streams, e.g, Etowah or Little River |
|
Assist other Units |
Scouts |
Sometimes, other Units are in need of assistance from other Scouters. E.g., Pinewood Derby, other service projects. Team-up and get to know other Units. |
Landscaping |
Almost anywhere |
Many residents and business' can use a little extra help around the yard, especially those who are unable to get out for one reason or another. Doing basic yard maintenance goes a long way. Note: if taking donations, this would be a fundraiser. |
Library / Pantry boxes |
Little Free Library Little Free Pantry |
Along the trail in Woodstock are interesting little boxes. To find-out more on these boxes, checkout the Little Free Library site. The same for Little Free Pantry. |
Camping clinics |
Anyone, e.g., HOA, school |
Most Scouting units camp. Just as the National Park system has the Camping 101 program, camping Scouts could bring the outdoors to their friends and family. Setup and do an Introduction to Camping clinic for those not involved in Camping. Hint: if they like, they may want to do more and want to find out how. |
Community Garden |
Almost anyplace, especially congested areas |
Have you ever hear someone say they'd like to have a garden but don't have a place to put one. Check with the local government about making a community garden. Not only is this a great project, but, provides the ability for ongoing service primarily with maintenance. |
Campground cleanup |
Allatoona Aquatics Base |
Plenty of service projects await at the Aquatics Base. Contact Mike Gulledge at chairman@campallatoona.org to get a list of things needed. Have more fun by camping-out for the weekend. |
