My featured Merit Badge Awardee of the Week is \u2026 Audrey Morris!!!<\/p>\n

Audrey Morris (#5517) has received a certificate of achievement in Each Other for earning a Beginner Level Community Service Merit Badge!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe three organizations I considered for this task were: our cub scout pack, my 5th grader’s school, and our local community garden. I have put many, many hours into cubs in the last 7 years, and this is my last year. I am a bit burned out, and a heavy commitment there caused me to give less time to school. The community garden is something I want to love, but when we have worked there, they will only let us pull Bermuda grass\u2014I am also ineligible for a plot since we own our house (with shady yard). But others who own a home have been permitted plots, which leaves a sour taste in my mouth. So school it is!<\/p>\n

I quickly got my 10 hours in by chaperoning a field trip, attending room representative and Autumn Fair meetings, arranging our Autumn Fair game, and I am continuing as CSA chair (about 30 min a week, normally). My new journal is also excellent for school, as we are supposed to report our volunteered hours, and I have never been good at keeping track.<\/p>\n

So far so good! I have managed to increase the number of families participating in the CSA program, and am working with our PTA to solve the new aftercare issues with our delivery spot. Field trip went well. Our class Autumn Fair game brought in over $170, and since we did a wet sponge throw, all sponges and buckets were donated to the classrooms. Very low cost and very low waste.\u201d\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
