Determining Whether Community Service Counts
Community service (updated November 12, 2010)
Community Service is required for most ranks and some merit badges.
The same community service time cannot be used for both a rank advancement and a merit badge.
Scout community service time can be used for community service hours with other organizations (Junior Honor Society, school, church, etc) if the other organization allows Scouting Community Service hours to count for their organization.
Troop level community service can count toward rank or merit badge hours. Non-Troop community service may count but the Scoutmaster, Asst Scoutmaster, or Committee Chairman must approve
it in advance. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS APPROVED IN ADVANCE.
For service to count for Troop purposes:
• The service opportunity must be available to any person or organization that wants to participate in the community service. So, for example, helping a church or organization with grounds maintenance will normally be accepted.
• The sponsoring organization must document and sign off on the community service activity and hours.
See attachment for form for non troop community service.
