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!

Rube Goldberg Machine Rules 
A Rube Goldberg Machine is a machine that has several working parts that are set off in a chain reaction to do a simple task.

Rules:

• You have a 45 minute time-limit to gather materials, build machine, and do test trials to make sure your machine works
  
• We will be in a live meeting while people are building their machines
  
• You can use up to 12 objects around your house (not counting dominoes)
• The machine needs to complete a minimum of 5 activities (ex. One activity would be a domino-chain being set off)
• No pre-building the machine before the meeting, but you can start to gather the materials 
  

Objective: Shoot a goal / make a hole in one
