Crew 194 Community Service Page

An important part of Venturing is Service to Others. The concept of giving back to the Community is something that the Boy Scouts of America feels is important to nurture in young people. This page is dedicate the the Community Service activities of Crew 194. 

Since we are just starting to build this page, please check back often to find out what the Crew is doing in our Community.

Boy Scout Good Turn for America

Good Turn for America is a national call to service by the Boy Scouts of America to address the issues of hunger, homelessness, and poor health in our nation.

In this effort, the Boy Scouts of America is partnering with some of the nation's most respected service organizations, including The Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity. These organizations, and thousands of others, will work to provide opportunities for youth and volunteers to fight hunger and homelessness, and teach the habits of healthy living.

Youth and volunteers are looking for ways to serve their communities. At the same time, service organizations need dedicated volunteer help. By working together, we can improve our young people, our communities, and the nation.

Community Service Opportunities

Crew 194 is helping a resident of Mason, Ohio whose husband has been serving in the US military in the Middle East for the past year.  We are helping her by mowing her lawn and maintaining her landscaping while her husband is gone.  If a Crew 194 member is interested in helping out with this service activity, please see Mr. Duma, who is coordinating this activity.

Past Community Service Activities

Several Scouts from Troop 194 (Alex C., Danny M., Kyle L., and their parents) participated with General Electric in the 2005 Spring RASKALS community service event to help our community's seniors. A team like this one has been participating in the West Chester-Liberty Township sponsored semi-annual event since 1999 contributing over 1000 hours of community service; this year, a team of 23 added over 125 hours to that total. RASKALS or Random Acts of Simple Kindness Affecting Local Seniors offers volunteer services to senior and disabled neighbors to help with general (but difficult) external property maintenance. These semi-annual "chores" go a long way towards helping these families maintain and keep their homes.
