This can be accomplished by participating in one long project, or many shorter projects. If your church has a work bee, that is one way to meet this. But there are others. Your club could organize its own work bee or project. Here are some ideas:
- Clean the church or school's carpets
- Rent a steam vac from a local outlet (grocery stores often supply them).
- Sweep the parking lot
- If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow, the lot will likely be treated with sand all through the winter, and will need to be swept clean in the spring. Be sure to load the sand into wheelbarrows and dump it someplace. If you just sweep it off the edge of the lot, the next several rains will wash it right back on. Sweeping it into the grass will not be good for the lawn (especially if the sand was mixed with salt).
- Yard work
- Pick up branches, rake leaves, pull grass out of the sidewalks, etc.
- Wash the windows
- Churches and schools usually have lots of windows, making it easy to divide the work up among everyone in the club.
- Fund raisers
- Any time your school sells things to raise money, you help the school by participating.
- Clean the kitchen after potluck
- Sometimes it's hard to get people to help in the kitchen after a potluck. If you are willing to pitch in, your presence will be very welcome in the kitchen.
- Help with the Adventurers
- Check with the Adventurer director to see if they need help. Pathfinders are capable of teaching Adventurer Awards. It's a good idea to have an adult mentor present to handle discipline and keep things on track.
- Participate in a remodeling project
- Plant a “giveaway” community garden
