Service Projects

Cub Scout service projects are a meaningful way for Scouts to give back to their communities while learning the value of helping others. Whether raking leaves for elderly neighbors, collecting canned goods during Scouting for Food, or participating in local clean-up events, these projects teach important lessons in citizenship, responsibility, and compassion. Service activities not only benefit those in need but also help Scouts build character and take pride in making a positive difference. Working together as a pack, Cub Scouts discover the joy of serving others and become active, caring members of their community.
