A Community Service Program for Everyone

Our Community Service Program

Community service should be a rewarding experience. With the right program, young people will take pride in their involvement while gaining life skills and enjoy being part of a group where they can socialize and make new friends.

Rewarding
Our program is designed to guide youth through service projects. Working with parents, teachers or mentors, children can begin as young as preschool to be introduced to the rewards of volunteering. Older children will show pride as they self-guide through the requirements. Teens can use the acquired experience to organize their own action projects. 

Educational
Our program is not “school-work”. Children and teens will learn while they participate. Every requirement provides resources to get started. Older children can “try on” career choices. Teens can build a resume and add accomplishments to their collage application.

Flexible
All requirements are flexible allowing you to adjust for your geographic area and your team’s situation. Group size, age range and abilities can be easily accommodated. Scout troops, service units, packs and dens can incorporate our program into their existing program. Earned patches can be displayed with their scout fun patches. American Heritage Girls, Frontier Girls and any other youth group can plan their community service using our program guidelines.

Not just for scouts
You don’t need a troop to participate in our program. You can mix boys and girls, children, teens and adults. Offer it through your church, classroom, aftercare, classroom or even your business.

Economical
There are no books or binders to purchase. Sign up during 2019 as a charter member and registration is free.
