Pack 214 Volunteering

Pack 214 scouts don’t just learn about giving back — they do it, several times a year, as a pack.

Greenway Clean-Up (Adopt-a-Stream)

Pack 214 has adopted a portion of Four Mile Creek and conducts clean-ups along our section of the creek — typically twice a year, in the fall and spring. Check our calendar for this year’s confirmed dates.

Jared Boxes

Each year, the pack makes Jared Boxes to donate to local hospitals. Each shoebox contains small gifts, toys, games, crayons, coloring books, and fun activities selected for a specific age and gender of child — hospitals give these to young patients in emergency rooms, hospital rooms, surgical centers, and clinics.

Down Syndrome Association of Charlotte (DSA)

The Down Syndrome Association of Charlotte is a wonderful organization that helps parents of newborn Down Syndrome children find the resources and answers they need. They also sponsor a number of camps for older children with Down Syndrome.

Pack 214 has a history of partnering with DSA — including a guest speaker at an October Pack Meeting for Down Syndrome Awareness Month, where scouts tried on socks over their hands and buttoned/unbuttoned their shirts to experience what sensory challenges can feel like, and volunteering at the annual 3-2-1 Dash 5K benefiting DSA programs.
