What is the One Day of Service?

The One Day of Service Program is an opportunity for every lodge in the region to do meaningful service in their communities.

Realizing the true purpose of the program, which is to encourage Arrowmen and non-Arrowmen alike to conduct much needed and beneficial service to our communities. The Central Region will run the One Day of Service Program from the January 1 to November 1, 2005. Any amount of days during this time period is available for lodges to do their service projects. It is also recommended that lodges conduct multiple service projects to the community.

Benefits of the One Day of Service

The One Day program directly tackles the Order’s goal of bringing service to the communities we live in, not just Scouting. We take a step out of our council camps and go back to the roots of Scouting with a deep commitment to the communities we live in. Not only are we helping to achieve the goals of the Order, we are also setting the example for and encouraging that spirit of community service in scouts, scouters, and other residents around the region. Our work in this program will be a benefit to the community residents, our lodges, our councils, our troops, and fellow scouts and scouters alike.

Program Goals:

Get as many people involved to make a significant contribution to the community and to have fun.
Promote positive public relations for Scouting in our communities.
Set an example for scouts, Scouters, and other residents by giving back to the community.
