Pack 788 Service Project 2nd

The scouts of Pack 788 are invited to the 2nd half of the Service Project on the Christ Church campus. This is a great experience for the scouts. They spend the morning outside having fun while providing a service to the community.

The plan is to assemble a bench and place it on the trail on the Christ Church campus. Other activities, such as collecting trash from the trail, may also be on the agenda.

Friends of Scouting -- Annual Fund 2013

Dear Fellow Scout Parents,

Scouting provides many rewarding opportunities for your son to discover the ability to lead teach and instill confidence in others.  For the past 100 years, the Heart of Virginia Council, Boy Scouts of America, has conducted programs designed to prepare young people for life!

The success of Scouting in Central Virginiadepends on those who support it. That includes the work of adult volunteers, the encouragement of parents, and the financial investments from Friends of Scouting! Your support is need now more than ever, to provide a quality Scout program to over 12,000 young people in 24 counties and 4 cities across centralVirginia.

Pack 788 receives many, “behind the scenes” benefits and services from the Heart of Virginia Boy Scout Council, and our own Pack Committee recognizes the importance of this.

The scouts of Pack 788 are invited and encouraged to participate in our 2013 service project. This year, we will once again focus our efforts on clearing the trail in the woods on the Christ Church campus. This will involve raking leaves and removing sticks from the trail and relining the trail with branches where needed. We would also like to make something to leave behind to enhance the trail. This might include a bench, birdhouses or a sign to mark the entrances. The service project is scheduled for two days - Saturday, April 20th and Saturday, May 4th from 9:00am to 12:00 noon.
