Geri Dodge, our Community Service Coordinator, has set up a contact list for emailing and calling people who would like to be notified when community service opportunities arise. To be included on the contact list, email or call Geri at gbdstmr@yahoo.com or (651) 687-9787. Please provide your name, troop number and age level, email address, telephone numbers and any information you’d like Geri to know with regard to service project interests.
You will be notified when there is an opportunity for a specific type of service; opportunities that meet badge or patch requirements or fulfill Bronze, Silver and Gold Award service requirements; opportunities for troop, individual and/or family participation; and opportunities available on short notice where getting the information out in a timely manner can be difficult. |
