Community Service opportunities will continue to be updated!
Keep checking back for new options.
Donation Drives
Troops can sign up to run a donation drive throughout the year. We have listed a schedule for food drives, toy drives, clothing drives and more.
Christmas in the City and the Food Drive will be organized by the Service Unit and info will be provided to registered troops.
For all other opportunities, your troop is signing up to organize, advertise, and deliver the items.
Making Cards and Crafts
Troops can sign up to make cards or craft kits for Bridges Memory Care Center. Items will be needed with a Thanksgiving/Fall theme, a winter holiday/peace/New Year theme, a Valentine’s Day theme, and a spring or Mother’s Day/Father’s Day theme.
Bridges has 54 residents and would like completed crafts for decorations or greeting cards. Please make sure none of the decorations look like food. (Troops can sign up to bring just 25-30 if they prefer, but please note that on the signup so another troop can share the slot.)
Craft and card ideas can be found on our Pinterest page.
Adopt a Trail/Site
Westford is full of amazing hiking trails, conservation land, playing fields, and playgrounds. Your troop can choose a site to take care of for the year. Go out as a troop or families can go out in their free time to help clear trails, identify areas in need of work/repair, and to do clean up.
Choose one of the trails and sites we identified or add one of your own.
*** The exercise equipment at Grassy Pond is in disrepair. If a troop or Scout is interested in helping to get the pieces cleaned up, email gswestford@gmail.com so we can connect with the right town representatives to see what is possible.
Share an Activity or Help a Troop Earn a Badge or Journey
Created a craft kit for World Thinking Day that you didn’t get to use? Have an idea for a badge, activity or journey that you would run for another troop? Make your offer on our group spreadsheet.
If your troop NEEDS help, add that information too!
Handbook of Camp Songs, Field Games, and Easy Activities
One of the things people always remember about camp are songs, field games, and the little activities you do just for fun. We’d love to have some Scouts take on the job of creating some song books (maybe even with some videos or recordings of songs) and game/activity guides a leader can throw in a bag for those times they need one more activity.
Email gswestford@gmail.com if your troop is interested!
