Task · part of 8. Citizenship, the flag, and earning something for yourself
8e. Two hours of service
Required Often forgotten
In one or more projects approved by your Scoutmaster, and how serving others relates to the Scout Oath. Get the approval before the work.
Notes and warnings
Warning. Two hours of service, approved by your Scoutmaster before the work rather than after it. First Class requirement 9d says its projects must not be the same ones used here or for Tenderfoot 7b, so keep a note of what you did and when: reconstructing it later is how service hours get counted twice by accident.
