Part of the Scout Oath is to “help other people at all times.” Troop 275 does regular community service events, including being a part of Scouting For Food. On January 27, we hung door tags in nearly 3,800 homes in 9 communities letting people know about Scouting for Food and then we picked up their donations! We collected a total of 6,000 pounds. These donations will be distributed through the Belair United Methodist Church food pantry to those in need.
Troop 275 has particpates in the SC Department of Transportation Adopt a Highway program. As part of our comitment to community service we clean the side of Charlotte Highway several a times a year. This time we collected 45 bags of trash and 5 bags of recyclable cans on the side of Charlotte Highway!
Part community service, part fun, our Troop went to Lakewood Camping Resort, Myrtle Beach to particpate in the District-wide, beach-cleanup service project! We walked the beach picking up trash. Later in the day, the rain stopped and we were able to enjoy the beach, the water park at the camp and other activities. Our troop was also responsible for the flag ceremony.
The Troop cleaned up the side of Charlotte Highway from Walnut Creek to Faith Presbyterian Church and collected 33 bags of trash and 6 bags of recyclable cans.

If the tickets are not returned by this Monday, March 27, then it will be assumed that they are sold and you are responsible for the sales price.
