| Earning The Servant's Heart To earn a Servant's Heart your daughter must perform a set number of community service hours. These are: Otter - 5 hours = Red Heart Dolphin - 10 hours = Silver Heart Butterfly - 15 hours = Gold Heart Eagle- 20 hours = Gold Diamond Heart There is difference between community service and living our motto, “ If you see a need, take the lead!” Community service is any activity that a girl volunteers to do for the betterment of her community. Most people think of things like picking up trash, participating in a canned food drive, or singing Christmas Carols to the elderly. While these are worth while projects, don’t forget to count things like helping to coach a soccer team, or volunteering to help at VBS or Sunday School. These types of events could not happen without enough volunteers. Certain volunteer activity does not count toward community service hours, as it is more of a favor to family or friends. Examples may include your neighbor asking you to watch their puppy, helping someone pack for a move, watching someone’s children. These activities come under our motto, "If you see a need, take the lead!" Girls should help out when needed simply because it is the right thing to do, not because they are being rewarded for it. The test to identify which activities count for service hours is simple; If something in your community would not be able to get done without volunteers (streets staying clean, rescue missions stayed stocked, Sunday School classes or sports teams being taught, etc.) then it counts as community service. We believe in rewarding the girls for these efforts with service hours to encourage them to be active in their communities. If however the activity is simply a good deed for an individual (babysitting for your neighbor, mowing someone’s lawn for free, etc.) this is simply living our motto. We want to teach the girls that when they see someone in need, they need to take the lead and help them out without expecting anything in return. |
If you see a need...
Take the Lead!
Take the Lead!
