Requirements

  1. Learn how to properly care for and fold the United States Flag. With your den or pack, participate in a flag ceremony.
  2. Identify three points of the Scout Law that are important to being a good neighbor.
  3. Build a model of your home.
  4. Using the same materials from requirement 3, create a model of a building that you visit.
  5. Using the models built in requirement 3 and 4, create a neighborhood.
  6. Participate in a service project. Explain how your volunteering is helpful to your neighborhood.

Tips and Tricks

  • If your time (or patience) is limited, consider using Legos to create the models. Using cardboard and recycled items may take significantly more time.
  • The neighborhood model is combination of all the models currently built.
  • Consider linking the service project with a Pack service project if time or opportunities are limited.

Special Needs Consideration

  • Consider using alternate tools or materials to build the models with Scouts that have tactile issues. A tablet, for example, may be helpful for some Scouts.
  • Keep in mind when planning the service project to keep in mind any mobility issues that may require additional planning or an alternate activity.
