Examples of a few of these activities are:
AMERICANISM:
project GIVE A KID A FLAG TO WAVE~ Giving 3x5 American flgas to kids at parades, festivals or school assemblies.
the FREEDOM SHRINE~ Displaying reproductions of historic documents relating to the creation of our great nation and the freedoms we enjoy. They may be found in schools, parks or other public places.
PROUDLY WE HAIL~ Recognizing someone who flies the flag every day with dignity and respect.
ONE NATION UNDER GOD~ Sharing with others a belief that there truly is a higher power.
COMMUNITY SERVICE:
Projects ro recognize outstanding law enforcement officers and firefighters Including the Book of Golden Deeds, which honors selfless volunteers.
YOUTH PROJECTS:
Youth of the Month/Year recognized high school students for their academic record and volunteer efforts. The ACE Award honors students who overcome personal or physical challenges to complete high school. Local winners are submitted for competition that could lead to a $10,000 scholarship on the national level.
Other activities include Young Citizenship Awards to middle school students.
CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION:
Clubs are encouraged to seek out local agencies that care for abused children and their families. Support may include providing holiday shopping trips, outings to the zoo or theme park or establishing a Child Abuse Prevention Center.
