SFRPD Service

Service
Written By Christopher Simmons

Saturday, December 7
10a–12p
Lake Merced Boathouse


Troop 333 performs regular gardening/conservation service for the San Francisco Recreation and Parks department. This is our commitment to improving the city’s shared outdoor spaces.

Star Scouts — remember that at least three of your six service hours for Life rank need to be for an approved conservation project. Because this service involves removing invasive plant species and is done under the supervision of the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, it qualifies for conservation hours.

10am – 12pm shift. Gloves and tools provided. Exact meeting location via WhatsApp.
