One thing synonymous with Scouting is SERVICE. Pack 1910 considers the dedication to our Unit, our Chartered Organization, and our community an integral part of membership. Our goal is to provide opportunities all year long.
We have started a new page on our website to highlight some of our service opportunities allowing our members to give back.
If you know of a service opportunity for our Unit, please reach out to our Community Services Chair, Kerianne Cully.
CafeMom put it best when she said that "when kids feel connected to the larger community, they realize their actions -- even the small ones -- can make an impact."
Community service provides youth with:
1) Awareness - opens their eyes beyond their bubble
2) Compassion - issues like hunger and pollution can see so remote but if those very ideas can be given a face by even volunteering at a shelter or planting in a community garden, the empathy factor increases.
3) Respect - for others and yourself.
4) Responsibility - We learn by doing that we are all responsible for the world we live in.
5) Gratitude - When kids see how others live (without the newest, latest and greatest), they can become increasingly grateful for what they already have.
6) Empowered - Knowing they can make a difference is magical.
