WHAT IS ONE DAY?

One Day is an opportunity for every lodge in the section to do meaningful service in their communities together, all on one day.

One Day of Service will be held in Section NE -1B in the month of May. While we would like every lodge in the section to participate on this day, the primary focus of the program is on its purpose - “Servant Leaders In Action” in the community, not on any specific date we have designated. We realize that some lodges may already have lodge programs planned for weekends in May, but we still want to encourage everyone to participate. An alternate date to May, before or after the One Day that best fits a lodge's schedule can be selected.

Wondering about the benefits of the One Day of Service program? The One Day program directly tackles the Order's goal of bringing service to the communities we live in, not just Scouting. We take a step out of our council camps and go back to the roots of scouting with a deep commitment to the community we live in. Not only are we helping to achieve the goals of the Order, we are also setting the example for and encouraging that spirit of community service in scouts and Scouters around the Section. Our work in this program will be a benefit to our lodges, our councils, our troops, and fellow scouts and Scouters alike. For these reasons, The Section NE-1B leadership has selected the theme of “Servant Leaders In Action” for the program.

PROGRAM GOALS

• Get all members of the order involved, make a significant contribution to the community, and have fun

• Promote positive public relations for Scouting in our communities

• Set an example for scouts and Scouters by giving back to the community
