Service projects from the auction

Hi everyone!

We have a few items we need to address in the next 3 weeks or so.

The following purchased "service" time from our young men, and we need to fulfill on this:

1-Bobbie Adsitt (2 hours)--we can get 2 boys and 1 leader for 45 minutes and call it good

2-Aguirres (1 hour)--pulling weeds--we can get 2 boys and 1 leader for 30 minutes and call it good

3-Backmans (2 hours)--pulling weeds--we can get 2 boys and 1 leader for 45 minutes and call it good

4-Marlett McKinney's mother in Riverton (10 hours)--misc. jobs, but need a truck for a few trips to the dump (she will reimburse for dump fees)


We need to identify a night when all youth and leaders (along with at least one truck) can go to Marlett's mothers home.

Also, we can knock out the other projects in one evening if we have youth show up. I want to ensure the majority of the young men can help both evenings.

Scout leaders, I propose we take the 3rd and 4th Wed. evenings (18th and 25th), and knock out all the service. Traditionally, the 18th would be a Scout night. Our combined activity would be the 25th.

Any thoughts on this? I'd love feedback.

As another alternative, we could plan to do just one night for service, and assign out the smaller weed pulling projects to those who cannot attend that night if desired. 

I feel strongly the boys who go to scout camp and participate in other activities that are benefitted by the money earned at the service project participate, however. This is a great opportunity to teach them service and responsibility. Hours can also be counted toward service needed by many of our scouts for rank advancements.

Thanks!
