Troop 76 has a strong tradition of community service.   It's important for scouts to "give back" to the community and appreciate the value of being a volunteer.

In addition to the various service requirements for rank advancements, each Scout is obligated to perform at least six hours of community service (along with other requirements related to holiday wreath sales) to be eligible to attend the February ski trip.  Six more hours of community service are required to participate in the "Big Trip" in June.

Service must be completed during the current scout year, but no later than 30 days before each trip. (A Scout who rushes the weekend before the ski trip to perform community service hours, in order to be able to go on the trip, has missed the entire point of giving the service.)

For information on Service Projects, please contact the troop's community service coordinators, Lindy Olszewski and Deborah Grissmer.  Lindy's e-mail address is lindyo@snet.net.  Check the calendar and activities pages for specific projects.
