Hi Ed -
Thanks for this excellent brainstorming list.
As a follow-on, the Boy Scouts have partnered with Habitat for Humanity
(and other groups) on the Good Turn for America initiative.
Each chapter could consider working with a local troop, district or
council on a project encompassing Scouts and Habitat as a National
Service Week project.
More information about Good Turn for America can be found here:
http://www.goodturnforamerica.org
To find contact information for your local BSA council, talk with your
Scouting & Youth Service advisor or go to www.scouting.org
and click on the "Local Councils" link in the middle of the page,
then type in your ZIP code.
Keep up the great work everyone -
Dave O'Leary
Chair, National Scouting &
Youth Service Committee
