Help us continue Scouting's legacy and join us as we conduct Service-In-Place from April 24th through May 4th. SERVICE IN PLACE EVENT DONATE TO SCOUTING During these unprecedented times we need to be creative in how we conduct our Good Turn Daily, while still adhering to state and federal guidelines for safety. Service-from-Home is an opportunity for you and your family to do community service while still abiding by the stay-at-home order. Projects can range from cleaning the walking paths or parks in your neighborhood, creating cloth masks for donation to health care systems, or helping with a neighbor's yard work. No act of service is too small. A key component is recording and sharing your efforts. Your creativity and innovation not only support our communities and neighborhoods, but it also inspires others to act. Help us celebrate your service, and provide resources to others by recording your Service-In-Place hours digitally by using our Service In Place tracker. Join us to for a scavenger hunt and build a Rube Goldberg Machines!

If you are bored, need a break from school, or passionate about improving your life today or just enjoy a good video or two, please watch these two videos.
The first is a 10 minute TED talk that is really amazing. I promise it is not like a school lecture. The second is a bunch of scouts like you who put on a pretty good show.
