Service Hour Reporting
A service project is a special Good Turn that puts Scout spirit into action. Some Good Turns are big—helping out after floods or other disasters, recycling, working on conservation projects. But Good Turns are often small, thoughtful acts—going to the store for an elderly neighbor, cutting back brush that is blocking a sign, leaf raking, or welcoming a new student to your school. Anyone can get involved in a Good Turn.

Reporting your unit’s community service hours is also very importantl and has a positive impact on how your unit is giving back to the local community. To report information about a service project in which your unit participated, use the quick entry Lake Erie Council form . Please record hours for 2017 prior to December 31.
