For the past several years the Tres Ranchos District has been working with the Christmas in April Foundation by having the Boy Scouts refurbish a house. Scouters can help a community member in need. Painting, year work or simple maintenance is often a burden to an older or sick member of the community. This is a wonderful opportunity for the boys to learn and at the same time give service to their community.
Troops are encouraged to provide one adult leader for every three boys and to schedule them for no more than a four hour shift.
