Two service opportunities are upcoming that may be of interest.
They will not be Scout Troop events, so parents will need to coordinate transportation and supervision, but the Troop will award service hours to those taking part in these community events.
Please let me know if you have questions about Troop Involvement or service hours. Follow the contact information directions for information about the events.

Bexley Public Library – Friends of the Library Book Sale
3/22/15
I’m reaching out to the BSA and Girl Scout troops in Bexley to see if anyone is interested in service hours.
I am coordinating volunteers for the Friends of the Bexley Public Library Book Sale this spring.
We need to move more than a thousand books from one room to another and then move them out of the library after the sale.
The BHS Key Club helped a lot last fall. I’m hoping to get some scouts out this spring.
We need volunteers on Sunday, April 26 from 12:30 to 3:30 and on Sunday, May 3 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. We are taking volunteers for other days on our membership sign up form: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0b4aa9aa28a0f94-spring1. But our greatest need is at set up and clean up because our members are mostly retired and this is very hard work for our membership. Without the students help, this work takes us many days!
We usually offer two books to the volunteers to thank them for helping out.
I will be on site to coordinate everything. (I have my Youth Protection training.) I can sign off on their hours.
Thank you for considering! Let me know if you have any questions!
