What difference can Scouts make?

With over 35,000 Scouts, Scouters, and parents involved with the Lincoln Heritage Council, we have the opportunity to make a HUGE impact on 64 counties in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Tennessee. During the week of April 15-22 we encourage each unit to plan and execute a community service project that will benefit their city/town/county. All unit leaders will need to record their project at mygiveaday.com.  

Whether you give a hour, or the day - the rewards are bigger than you can possibly imagine.   

Project Ideas: 

• Organize a backpack school supply drive
• Volunteer at a soup kitchen
• Spend time with the elderly
• Adopt a highway
• Organize a tornado relief project
