Join Us for a National Day of Service

July 20, 2018 by The Scouter Digest Staff

Can we Scout You In for a National Day of Service on the National Mall?

Through a partnership with our great friends at The Trust for the National Mall and the National Park Service, the Boy Scouts of America have scheduled September 22nd as a National Day of Service right here in our nation’s capital. To register, please visit https://scoutingevent.com/082-ServiceProjectMall2018.

For each Youth and Adult, a special Council Shoulder patch is being secured to thank each registered participant for their dedication to this project, benefiting our National Mall.

As the days grow closer, the National Park Service will be confirming the exact meeting location and a list of projects. Projects that may be undertaken include painting posts and chains, painting park benches, landscaping work, and/or debris removal.

Participants are encouraged to please consider taking the Metro system down to the National Mall to prevent having to find parking in the area.

To best manage this project, there will be two groups of volunteers with the first starting at 8:30 am and the second group taking over after lunch at 12:30 pm.

Proposed Schedule:

Group 1 – 200 Total (8:30am-12:30pm; includes lunch)

  • 8:30 am Group 1 arrives at central/meeting location and checks-in (Lockkeeper’s House)
  • 9:00 am Introductions, walk through activities, instructions, and itinerary for the day presented by the National Park Service and Boy Scouts of America staff.
  • 9:30am Volunteer Service Begins; divides into smaller teams and travel to specific sites. 4-6 groups of 25-50 scouts.
  • 11:30am Group 1 concludes volunteer activity and reconvenes at central meeting location. Ranger talk/info about National Mall. Closing.

LUNCH FOR BOTH GROUPS

Group 2 – 200 Total (11:30-3:30pm; includes lunch)

  • 12:30pm Introductions, walk through activities, instructions, and itinerary for the day presented by the National Park Service and Boy Scouts of America staff.
  • 1:00pm Volunteer Service Begins; divides into smaller teams and travel to specific sites. 4-6 groups of 25-50 scouts.
  • 3:00pm Group 2 concludes volunteer activity and reconvenes at central meeting location. Ranger talk/info about National Mall. Closing.
