Community Opportunities & Service Projects

Welcome to the Community Opportunities and Service Projects page!  Here we will list activities, events and service projects that are available in our community for your Pack, Troop, Team or Crew. Be sure to check back often as we will post new opportunities as they come available.

Service Projects

• Payette County Fairgrounds in need of a new flag pole. For further information, contact 208-350-9728.

• There is a potential Eagle Scout project available, for 16-17 year old boys, at Joplin Cemetery.  This project is quite detailed, needing a professional outcome.  Please contact Ray Wallace at 377-9535. 

• We are looking for a scout who needs an Eagle project and would be willing to start on it right away.  Parks & Rec. is fast becoming the last remaining haven for wildlife in this part of Boise.  We are enhancing the habitat on our property to create a winter supply of food for wildlife, to create a more aesthetically appealing setting, and we are attempting to eradicate noxious weeds on our property.

  Idaho Fish & Game has donated 2,000 bitterbrush & sage seedlings to us that need to be planted by the end of April at the latest.  The planting site is on our property at 5657 Warm Springs Ave. 

  The project would include these items:

  ·       Meet with Fish & Game biologists and Idaho Parks & Rec. (IDPR) planners to decide where to plant

  ·       Assist in the development of a site plan

  ·       Gain knowledge of how to sow the seedlings for optimal growth

  ·       Pick up and deliver seedlings to IDPR

  ·       Gather tools and manpower

  ·       Plant seedlings

  ·       Possibly would include noxious weed removal

  Please call me at the contact information to discuss our project further.  Thanks!
