SECOND CLASS SCOUT

4. Participate in an approved (minimum of one hour) service project.

A service project is a special Good Turn that allows you to put Scout spirit into action.

Service projects can take many forms-community cleanup; repairing a church, a museum, or the home of an elderly person; improving wildlife habitat; volunteering at a hospital or with a public safety group; organizing a recycling effort; cleaning up a neighborhood lot or park; or any of a thousand other possibilities.

Giving of yourself will improve the lives of those around you. It will also enrich your own life as you discover that your actions make a real difference. The more you give, the more you will get back-in satisfac- tion, in accomplishment, and in understanding that you have done the right thing.

While this requirement asks for a minimum of only an hour, you don't have to limit yourself. Service to others, to your community, and to the environment can become a habit that you will want to practice often.

In the following space, write a short description of an approved service project you have completed:
