Scouting For Food & other service opportunities

Help Needed with Scouting For Food: Community Service - giving back to the community - is a big part of the scouting mission. Scouting for Food is scouting's big community service effort. Please consider assisting with this effort. Not a lot of time is required - a half hour of your scout's time. Here is what is needed: 1. Hand out bags for the collection of food goods at the end of services at Westminster Church this Sunday, April 10. Services are at 8:30 AM, 9:45 AM, and 11 AM. Plan to come in uniform about 30 minutes after start of services to be available to hand out bags as members leave services. We currently have no one to help with the 8:30 AM service, and could still use more help at the other two. Joyce B. will be available to provide the bags for us. 2. Food goods will need to be collected before the start of services at Westminster Church the next Sunday, April 17 at all three services. Plan to arrive in uniform, 20 - 30 minutes before start of services and stay about 10 minutes after for stragglers and to pack items in boxes. This is a day we truly need your help. All those able to help, please contact Joyce at burton3363@verizon.net or contact your den leader to let her/him know when you can help. Now for scouts Scouting For Food. Den leaders have been informed of availability of Scouting For Food bags for scouts to pass out to their neighbors or family. Pass these bags out along with some information as to when you will pick them up. Just bring the items you pick up from family/neighbors to our Blue & Gold Banquet next Saturday April 16. We'll collect your items when you come in! Extra community service hours available for those interested in packing up those items! Not to mention the good feeling in helping those in need. Another "hold that date" service op - Westminster playground clean-up Saturday, May 7th at 9 AM. Come prepared with work gloves, rakes, brooms and leaf blowers (all items labeled with name). Also be prepared with a towel or change of clothes - some water will be involved in cleaning off playground equipment and outside toys. We hope many of you will help with this project. It's our way of saying "Thank You" to Westminster Church for allowing us to use their facilities for all of our Pack events. Thank you in advance for giving of your time and resources as we give back to our community!
