Here are some service projects that could be completed during these current times. However, it is a good idea to contact a Troop 48 leader before beginning to ensure correct scope for your service project. Wear a face mask with working with other people outside your household.
1) Pick up trash – in your neighborhood, Kingsport Greenbelt, WPSP conservation events, trail heads, boat launches. Use a trash grabber or gloves for protection. A goal of a garbage bag per half hour would be great to know if an area needs this service.
2) Outdoor landscaping maintenance at your church. Pull weeds, cut back bushes (with guidance!), pick up limits, remove dead from flower beds, put out new plants. Partner with the grounds staff to learn what is needed.
3) Rake leaves or pull weeds for an elderly resident in your neighborhood – not related to you.
4) Make birdhouses and with permission put into a local park. Not necessary a known need, but ask the naturalist connected with the park about their needs. May come up with another idea.
5) Sew face masks for distribution. Several scouts have been involved with this effort.
6) With an adult driver, complete meal delivery with Meals on Wheels
7) With an adult, volunteer to purchase and deliver food for an elderly/shut-in neighbor
8) Talk with Mr. Hasler about trail maintenance – pulling limbs from the path, cutting back growth, repainting blazes, etc.
More ideas can be considered to add to this list.
