One
Day of Service
One day of Service is a new
Central Region program that focuses on service to the community, and not just to
your local council. Lodges are encouraged to participate in One Day of
Service by donating their effort and time to their local community. Each
lodge will be asked to record the number of man hours spent in their project,
and turn the list in to the Central Region to obtain One Day of Service
patches. For more information, visit the One
Day of Service website.
