Service Records
Scouts are required to complete a certain number of community service hours each year as part of their rank advancement requirements. Most of the hours are earned working on Seniors’ Eagle Scout projects, but there are other opportunities such as working on activities supporting our war veterans and other special projects announced each year.

Reporting Service Hours
Seniors who conduct their Eagle Service Projects will enter the hours worked by the other scouts in the troop. Individual scouts should not input their own hours, but ask the senior to do it. All hours will be verified by an ASM before appearing on the official record sheet on the website. A reminder that a Scout is Trustworthy, and willfully entering any invalid information will not be tolerated.
Seniors will be granted access to enter hours onto a reporting google Sheets document, please inform the Senior ASM team when you are ready to have a work day and record hours. Senior Scouts may not report hours for themselves on their own projects, only for other scouts.
*Seniors must work at least 20 hours on other Senior’s projects. However, they will be credited with Eagle Points on other service activities.
