Summer of Service PatchSuggestions for how girls can earn the Summer of Service Patch.

  1. Choose your team. Will this be done with your troop? Your service unit? Family? Friends? What about the engaging the whole community?
  2. Choose a project. What would be the best type of summer service for your community?Here are 12 ideas:
    • Hydration Drive: Organize a campaign to collect and distribute water bottles to homeless individuals or outdoor workers during hot summer days.
    • Cooling Station Setup: Set up cooling stations in public areas, such as parks or community centers, where people can rest and cool down during hot days.
    • Fan Distribution: Collect donations of fans or raise funds to purchase fans, then distribute them to elderly individuals or families in need who may not have access to air conditioning.
    • Community Garden Maintenance: Volunteer to help maintain community gardens during the summer months by watering the plants and ensuring they are thriving in the heat.
    • Youth Mentorship: Become a mentor to younger children by organizing summer workshops or activities that promote learning, creativity, or personal development.
    • Energy Efficiency Awareness: Create educational materials or host workshops to raise awareness about energy-efficient practices that can help reduce energy consumption and lower the heat index in homes and communities.
    • Assisting Local Libraries: Offer to help at the library by shelving books, organizing reading programs, or assisting with summer reading initiatives.
    • Heat Safety Campaign: Develop and distribute informational brochures or pamphlets about heat safety tips and precautions to distribute to community members, particularly targeting vulnerable populations like the elderly or young children.
    • Pool Safety Education: Offer swimming lessons or organize a pool safety awareness program to teach children and adults about water safety and how to prevent accidents during the summer months.
    • Shade Tree Planting: Organize a tree-planting initiative in parks or other public spaces to increase shade and provide relief from the summer heat.
    • Clothing Drive: Collect gently used summer clothing items, such as lightweight shirts, shorts, and hats, to donate to organizations that support individuals in need during hot weather.
    • Beach Cleanup: Arrange a beach cleanup event to help maintain the cleanliness of local beaches and protect marine life. Ensure that participants are mindful of the heat and take appropriate precautions while cleaning up.
    • Assisting at Community Events: Volunteer at local fairs, festivals, or charitable events to help with setup, organization, and activities.

3. Make a list of everything you will need including supplies and tools. What types of tools can be borrowed? Will you ask the community for use of their tools? What will you need for supplies? Where will the funds come from? Will you ask local businesses to donate some of the supplies? Will you need to do some money-earning activities?

4. Set a timeline.

5. Complete your project. Take photos or videos to submit to media and post on social media.

6. Reflect on your project with your team. Would you have done anything differently?

Remember to consult with local authorities or community organizations to ensure compliance with any regulations or guidelines when organizing these activities.
