Service – Help Rescue Workers or EMS

Help-based service activities for rescue workers and EMS personnel emphasize preparedness, gratitude, and community support, making them a powerful way for scouts to give back. These projects help scouts build awareness, leadership, and emergency readiness while honoring those who respond in times of crisis. Whether supporting local fire stations or promoting safety education, scouts learn how their actions can strengthen and uplift emergency responders.
