Caroling
Scouts carol in the neighborhood during the holiday season. The coordinator arranges prepared neighbors, procures hot chocolate for Scouts afterward, and delivers any monetary proceeds to the beneficiary selected by the Pack Committee.
Overview
Caroling is a beloved holiday tradition that combines community service with holiday spirit. Scouts visit neighbors along a pre-planned route, singing holiday songs. Neighbors may contribute monetary donations, which the Pack Committee directs to a selected beneficiary. The event concludes with hot chocolate for the Scouts. This event pairs well with the Holiday Pack Meeting.
