...actually, Troop 374 really Wants to Help

Dear Scout Parents, Scouts, Volunteers and Visitors: Have you ever seen a need for a community project and say to yourself "somebody should do something to help"? Then feel overwhelmed because you're just too busy to do it all by yourself?

Well.............................we want your ideas!!

Troop 374 is always looking for Service Projects that will help our community:

• Some projects are led by adult volunteers and coordinated with all the Boy Scouts in our troop.
• Others are led by one of our Eagle Scout Candidates who then organizes a team of volunteers. These candidates learn the mantra firsthand that "many people have ideas about service to community, few lead them into action."

In either case, your Service Project Idea will be completed by an enthusiastic group of individuals who want to make a difference in our community. The only requirement of your project idea--must provide "Benefit to the Community"; sorry  can not be performed for individuals or for-profit businesses.

In the last 2 years, we've worked with or are currently leading service projects for:

• College of DuPage
• Cosley Zoo
• DuPage Convalescent Center
• DuPage County Sheriff Department
• DuPage Forest Preserves
• Humanitarian Service Project-helping DuPage Seniors
• Illinois Prairie Path
• Northern Illinois Food Bank
• Outreach Community Services
• Wheaton School District 200
• We-Grow Nursery and Special need training Center
• Wheaton VFW

During that time, our Troop and Eagle Scout Candidates have logged over 2,000 hours of community service, with (conservatively estimated) total project values ranging from $20-21,000.

We want your service project ideas or contacts at community organizations. We're interested in helping churches, temples, rec. centers, schools, fire houses, police stations, park districts, hospitals and so on. Forward your thoughts, comments and suggestions to Mr. T steelguys@yahoo.com, our Eagle Scout Advisor.

Let Troop 374 lead your ideas into action!
