mk9750 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Some examples I have seen: Individual project: -Bulit brick patio -Painted shed -Cleaned and organized basement _Cleaned, sharpened, labeled and created storage for garden tools -Built step path for where dad gets out of truck (this was really appreciated by the mom, who had to mop the floor about 1/3 less often!) -Replaced smoke detectors with smoke / co2 detectors -Tear out old deck to make way for new sun porch -Chopped and split wood from a tree that fell in the yard Some family projects: -Family cleaned their church together -Inventoried and photgraphed family assets for insurance purposes. -Painted addition being buit on house, saving the cost of the contractor doing this. -Built wood bookshelf wall unit in living room -"Child - Proofed" house for expected new sibling -Catalogue and put into album all of the families pictures That's all I can remember guys I've worked with doing. Hope it helps. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentureScoutNY Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 An idea for a Family project is to creat a Vegitable Garden. I started a garden with my family that could be enjoyed for years after the merit badge. Unlike some projects this had soemwhat of incentive for everyone, fresh veggies! to keep a scout physically storng!

EagleInKY Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 My son is getting ready to start Family Life. I think he's already chosen his project (he may still change his mind). He's planning to clean out the garage, re-paint the floor and walls, and restock it (including some new storage stuff). I hope he goes through with it. If he doesn't, it's going to be my project. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
