While I agree that Mike's preference to assist the community, rather
than scouting, is likely the preferable format of a service project for
the ranks, there is no restriction that I find in BSA policy limiting such
service to community benefit. We have always allowed projects which
benefit scouting for the ranks (naturally excuding Eagle), But have always
encouraged Scouts to perform service for the community at large!
