Our Community Service

Completing service projects is one way that our Cub Scouts keep their promise “to help other people.” While a Scout should do always his best to do a good turn daily, a group service project is a bigger way to contribute to the community of Douglas and surrounding towns. And, while they’re giving service, they’re also learning how to work as a team.  Here is a list of service projects that Scouts from Pack 316 have participated in:

• Participated in the Blackstone Valley CROP Walk.
• Conducted Flag Retirement Ceremony with VFW.
• Participated in Public Lands Day at Buffumville Lake.
• Restored turtle mounds at Hodges Village Dam.
• Helped design the Sensory Trail for the visually impaired at Broad Meadow Brook Audubon.
• Collected personal products & snack foods for soldiers in Afghanistan.
• Made Christmas Cards and ornaments, and sent trees to military families overseas.
• Assisted scientists by participating in The Great Backyard Bird Count.
• Removed invasive plants from the trails at Broad Meadow Brook Audubon Sanctuary.
• Cleaned-up the litter around our streets and wetlands here in Douglas.
• Marched in the Memorial Day Parade.
• Donated toys for the Toys for Tots program.
• Wrote letters & made cards for our soldiers.
• Marked the boundaries of conservation property in Douglas.
• Assisted with water sampling for the Blackstone River Watershed Association.
• Donated socks & winter clothes to the Douglas Community Cares Closet.
• Visited nursing homes, entertained the residents, & presented them with hand-made gifts.
