Service in Action: Scouts Making a Difference

 At Red Wing Scouting America, community service is more than a requirement—it’s a reflection of who we are. Guided by the values of the Scout Oath and Law, our Scouts step up to serve wherever they’re needed, building character through meaningful action.

From sheet plastic recycling drives and flag retirement ceremonies to pop-up food pantry support and local conservation projects, our service efforts are diverse, hands-on, and youth-led. Whether planned or spontaneous, each project teaches responsibility, empathy, and the importance of giving back.

These experiences help Scouts:

• Care for the environment through sustainability and stewardship
• Honor traditions and civic duty with respectful ceremonies
• Support neighbors in need with compassion and teamwork
• Build leadership and confidence through real-world impact

Service is woven into everything we do—because preparing young people for life means preparing them to serve it.
