Emphasis on [[Physical Fitness]] is a common bonding point between many people in the community and scouting. Families that are unable to find a team sport that is right for them may find what they are looking for with scouting. | |||
=== Community Service === | |||
Scouts volunteer in an event that promotes physical fitness in their community.<ref>[http://nonprofitpeople.monster.com/training/articles/673-how-to-organize-a-5k-charity-run 5K Charity Run as Community Service] NonProfitPeople</ref> | |||
When you organize a charity run or walk-a-thon, you accomplish so much for the health of the community. For starters, you get a large group of people exercising. Who knows, your event just might be the starting point for some lifelong couch potatoes to take better care of their health! | |||
You’d also bring much-needed awareness for a health charity or cause that affects many people. Whether you are raising funds for breast cancer research, a cystic fibrosis support group or AIDS awareness, the money from the event will improve…the lives of many folks who need your help. | |||
