Community Service Hours Opportunity
This is a great way to earn your CSH’s required for rank advancement. All GP scouts need at least 1 hour of service(work 3 and get a TShirt and hot BBQ lunch for FREE!!). Also these scouts need to get 6 hours: CBowie, JMcBride, ARussell, GWood, and THigginbotham off the top of my head.
. This annual Neighborhood Christian Center (www.NCCJackson.com) fundraiser will be held next weekend, Saturday, April 18th (“Lord willing and the creek/lake don’t rise”) to again attempt to raise funds for our 5-week Super Stars for Christ program this summer for inner city children.
Although we are not having the Scout Canoe Race this year (and if the DEQ shuts down the lake for possible contamination from a down stream Jackson pumping problem, we may not be able to put boats in the water at all), but we will be have the bands, childrens’ activities and the BBQ lunch. For any of those scouts who may be interested in helping and receiving service hours, they also receive a free pass (includes meal) and T-Shirt (cool green color) if they work a three or more hour shift? See www.NCCJackson.com and hit the Pickin’ and Paddlin’ tab for more info.
The shifts are:
7 a.m. – 10 (this shift will help put up the tents and stage, unload canoes, and other heavier lifting. We also could use help with putting up signs, draping picnic tables, etc.)
10 a.m. – 2 p.m. (Help with the serving of the BBQ lunch, etc., cleaning up, and children’s activities) Note this is 4 hours but this allows for eating lunch.
2 p.m. – 5 p.m. (lots of continuing children’s activities and taking down of tents, stage, taking canoes out of water, emptying garbage cans, etc.)
If there are some scouts who are interested, please have them (or someone) call me at 668-7422 or Melody Moody at 540-3710 so we will know what shift they will be coming.
