Scouts preparing for Hurrican Isaac


Recommended Posts

cynicism meter just peaked.

 

Nowhere in the story did I see service hours mentioned. Instead, it says "they wanted to help out because they wanted to make sure that the community makes it safe and sound".

 

And are you somehow implying that the news hasn't done any other stories on any other groups that are helping out?

 

Jeesh. It's a feel good story about some Scouts helping fill sandbags. Good for them.

Our troop in Louisiana didn't get any press, but we helped make our community ready, just as we did when Katrina and to a greater respect, Rita came through our back yard!

 

Now, as to earning service hours, we have done other service projects for the community. One of which was recognized with the 2011 First Place level, National Award for Beautification & Community Greening, given by Keep America Beautiful.

But helping in an emergency is what Scouts do, and only if you've never filled, or moved alot of sandbags, can you say that this was not a worthy service project.
