Service Projects

In the Scout Oath, every Scout promises “to help other people at all times.” Pack 214 Scouts put that into practice with service projects through the year. Families take part together.

Our service projects

Greenway clean-up

Pack 214 has adopted a section of Four Mile Creek through Mecklenburg County’s Adopt-a-Stream program. Twice a year, in the fall and spring, our dens pick up trash along our stretch of the creek and greenway.

Scouting for Food

Each winter, Scouts hand out door hangers in local neighborhoods asking for food donations. About a week later, they come back to pick up the bags of food, which go to people in need in our community.

Jared Boxes

Each year, the Pack fills Jared Boxes to donate to local hospitals. Each shoebox holds small gifts, toys, games, crayons, coloring books, and activities picked for a child of a certain age. Hospitals give them to young patients in emergency rooms, hospital rooms, surgical centers, and clinics.

Memorial Day flags

Before Memorial Day, our Scouts join other Scouts from the Mecklenburg County Council to place American flags at a cemetery, honoring those who died serving our country.

Dens often add service projects of their own during the year. Your den leader will let you know.
