BkJennifer Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 My tiger den needs to do a service project for our den meetings place . I live in a co-op and we have our den meetings in the party room of my building, Thanks to the super of my building he allows us to use the space for free . He was a scout himself . I need some ideas . I thought of having the boys each make a thank you card , and each boy bring a fruit so we can make him a fruit basket. Please help thank you.

TAHAWK Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 A fruit basket is a nice gift. Showing appreciation for the super is fine. Now for a service project. What needs done? Weeds? Trash? Mulch? Think of something within the abilities of the boys that they can understand to be of service to the co-op and its community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwazse Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Nobody's gonna judge your project, so anything goes. But, it is about time for spring planting, and I think boys still like dirt, so something along the lines of filling a spring planter or window box might be welcome. Ask the super if the boys can do something like that for your community. Another fun thing since Easter is on its way could be hosting an egg decorating evening with some shut-ins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krampus Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Good advice above. Remember whatever you do make sure the boys handle only what they are allowed to. Check the tools guidelines, GTSS, and Sweet 16, This blog has the link to the age appropriate matrix. It is a lot to check and a lot to learn, but it will keep you and the boys safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAHAWK Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Really great idea, qwazse. They can come back and see how what they did has turned out over time. I remember twenty plus years after the fact locating trees we had planted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8Beldini Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Part of the requirement was to discuss potential service ideas. Had the boys sit around the table and we brainstormed ideas. I needed to steer the conversation a bit but we came up with a book drive. Printed up flyers; had the Wolfmen distribute to the parents in the Pack; sent out reminder e-mails. We received cases of books. Had the boys collect, collate, and carry out to my car, to be donated to a local library. It went pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
