Each Cub Scout Pack, Boy Scout Troop or Venture Crew is required to provide a significant number of hours in their community to complete service projects and volunteer at special events, work at a local food pantry or serve meals at a homeless shelter. Each Eagle Scout is required, with the help of his Troop, to complete a Service Project of meaningful and lasting impact.
