Service Projects
Always available if Scouts need a Service Project, want to help the local community or do something that is conservation minded
A Scout is Helpful
We have a long standing relationship with the City of Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood for service. Troop 60 has completed countless projects to beautify and improve our local community.
There are too many types of service projects Troop 60 has been involved in to list here.

Tour De Terrace MLT 2022
Yost Park 2022
Community Service
We help our local community because it is the right thing to do. Scouting has always been about teaching citizenship and a big part of citizenship is giving back to the community and making it a better place for all of us.
Veterans
Scouts honor veterans to show gratitude for their service and sacrifice, and to teach respect and remembrance.
On Veterans Day and Memorial Day of each year, Troop 60 Scouts attend multiple memorials, volunteer as honor guard and place flags for those who have fallen in defense of our nation.

Awards
There are several Scouting Awards that have a community service requirement.
Removing invasive Species
50-Miler Award
The 50-Miler Award requires 10-hours of service on during or after your outing. This is a significant commitment, but one that helps your crew restore your trail or waterway and to allow for sustainable adventures to come as so that others can also enjoy the outdoors.
It is challenging setting up 10-hours of service on many of our High Adventures trips, so we may opt to complete some or all of those service ours improving parks and trails nearby.
