Service Opportunities

Houston Maritime Center and Museum (HMCM)

HMCM is keen to routinely engage Scouts and Sea Scouts for a range of activities throughout the year at its new home in EaDo.

This will be a good opportunity to learn a little bit about the marine/offshore industry and one of the central pillars of Houston’s economy.

The Scouts will receive service hours for being good shipmates by offering helping hands in any of their events.

The HMCM is keen to involve Scouts on a routine basis for any number of things to build interest in the museum and the maritime industry. If you are interested in participating at the HMCM events or otherwise interested in learning about and working with the HMCM please reach out to Jason Smith (jasonesmith1973@googlemail.com) or Peter Wallace (Peter.Wallace@lr.org)

Volunteering at Bovay Scout Ranch

All Scouts BSA Scouts, and all registered leaders, are invited to volunteer at Bovay Scout Ranch / McNair Cub Adventure Camp.

Scouts under 14 years old must be accompanied by a registered leader parent who will remain on camp property the entire time the Scout is volunteering. Adults are encouraged to also volunteer if you will be staying on the property.

Scouts 14 years old and older may be dropped off on Friday night before staff development meetings and picked up on Sunday.

Benefits for the Scout:

• earn service hours for rank or for National Honor Society

• earn nights camped at a “designated Scouting activities or events” for Camping Merit Badge and National Outdoor Awards Program

• start on the road to be a paid staffer at a Sam Houston Area Council Camp

• leadership development
