Service

The Boy Scouts of America began with service when a young scout did his daily good turn and helped William Boyce find his way through the London fog. From that time in 1909, to present day, millions of Scouts have performed service projects and good turns for the betterment of America, its people, and the world.

Presidential Volunteer Service Award

 

What is SERVICE?  By definition it is: (1.) work done by one person or group that benefits another; (2.) an act of help or assistance.

 

The Boy Scouts of America began with service when a young scout did his daily good turn and helped William Boyce find his way through the London fog. From that time in 1909, to present day, millions of Scouts have performed service projects and good turns for the betterment of America, its people, and the world.

 

In April of 1997 the BSA committed to providing 200 million hours of community service each year by its youth members in response to the President's Summit for America's Future. This commits each Scout to a minimum of 12 hours of community service each year.

Service is a two-edged sword of good. Both the community, and the Scout performing the service, can benefit. Benefit to the community is obvious in the lives of those who receive the service. However, let's not forget what performing service can also do to a Scout. The sense of accomplishment, the satisfaction of helping others, and the pride in knowing it made a difference, can inspire a Scout to do more, and spur him to continue to help, long after he hangs up his uniform.

 

Every day, millions of Americans volunteer, using their time, talents, and compassion to make a difference in the lives of others. It is through these acts of kindness and decency that we are able to demonstrate the true character and compassion of our country.

 

Recognizing and honoring volunteers sets a standard for service to others. The President’s Volunteer Service Award is a Presidential recognition program for Americans of all ages, who contribute a significant amount of time to volunteer service. The Award is given to individuals, families and groups that have demonstrated outstanding volunteer service and civic participation over the course of a 12-month period.

 

Troop 226 is proud to acknowledge three of our scouts as recipients of the 2006 Presidential Volunteer Service Award.

Two Bronze and One Gold Award
