| This Project is meant for Boy Scouts. Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not. | |
| Required: | lots of 9-volt batteries |
| This is an easy community service project that can help get your troop more well-known in your town. You should check with your local fire/police department to see if you can cooperate with them. Acquire a supply of 9-volt batteries, either purchased or donated from a local hardware store. Send scouts into local neighborhoods, working in teams of 3, offering to check smoke detectors and replace batteries as needed. Having a flyer to hand out to residents about the need to periodically check detectors is a good idea, even better if it is on fire department letterhead. | |
