Scout Saturday at SAM
Saturday, April 6 from 7a-5p
Do you need service hours? Sam Houston State University is hosting the annual Scout Saturday at SAM . Scouts will be able to attend sessions to earn special interest badges. We need former Boy Scouts, preferably Eagle Scouts, and former Girl Scouts, preferably who earned a Gold Award, to volunteer to help faculty and Scouts. Faculty and staff will teach the badge sessions and SHSU student volunteers who were former Scouts will be facilitators to help in the classrooms and will be responsible for the safety of scouts while on campus throughout the day. If you are interested in volunteering to help make this day memorable for Scouts please contact Chris Arcos at arcos@shsu.edu or 936-294-2710 as soon as possible. This is a great service opportunity.
