I'm a den leader...
Service, best exemplified by the daily Good Turn has long been a tradition in Scouting. Good citizenship is best taught by service in action. This is one of the best ways to show boys that helping other people is not only beneficial to others, but is fun and rewarding for themselves.
Here are some ideas of projects:
If your community has a Toys for Tots collection, offer the pack's services to collect new toys. Or refurbish good used toys and give them to a charitable organization for distribution to needy children.
Make gifts for residents of a nursing home or other facility for the elderly.
Check with a shelter for the homeless about its needs. 'Perhaps the pack could collect used coats and sweaters for the homeless.
Collect used books in good condition for a hospital, nursing home or jail.
Aid a battered women's shelter by collecting clothing for the women and toys for their children.
Have Christmas caroling by the pack's families in the area of the pack's meeting place or at homes of shut-ins.
Collect nonperishable foods for distribution to the needy by a community food pantry or charitable organization.
Stage a holiday party for a day care center or nursing home. Bring small gifts, sing songs, and play games.
"Adopt" one or more residents of a nursing home. Visit them for a holiday party. Bring inexpensive or homemade gifts and sing songs. In making arrange-ments with the home, stress that the honored guests must be able to relate to young boys.
Make games, puzzles, and simple toys for a day care center or children's ward of a hospital.
Schedule daily or weekly service to an elderly person in the neighborhood to run errands and do simple chores.
Make bird feeders and hang them where shut-ins can see them. Keep feeders supplied with birdseed or suet throughout the winter.
HAVE FUN!!!
