Leaders and scouts of Troop 108 have the distinct privilege of providing a “good turn” for a member of our community on April 30th, 2018. The person that we’re assisting is a long-time supporter of Scouting and has a now grown Eagle Scout son.
Scouts will earn service hours and those working on Citizenship in the Community can gain some service hour time for their merit badge service requirement as well.
Here are the specifics:
This is a great opportunity for us to get out in our community and make an impact outside of roadside litter pickup or Scouting for Food activities during the year.
