From Monday 16th November 2009, as part of The Scout Association's development of one fully integrated website for Members, the information contained on this page is no longer being maintained.
The Community Service Programme Zone is all about contributing something of your skills and time to help individuals or the community outside your immediate circle of family and friends. Community Service works best and is most rewarding when it benefits both the Member and the community.
It is important to recognise that not all your colleagues in the Scout Network will have either the skills or desire to get involved in long-term or especially challenging community projects. Group projects can be very helpful here, and have the added benefit of providing an opportunity for group discussion of the shared experience. Community Service can be either a group or an individual project, depending on the interests of your Unit and the needs of the community.
