I wanted to do something pretty meaningful for my Eagle Scout project. Our Scout Troop, Denver Area Council Troop 556, works closely with Denver Mountain Parks, of Morrison, Colorado, to provide some important service to keep parks, trails, and recreation areas in good condition and taken care of.
The Braille Trail is one of their most interesting trails.

Just Read It! is designed to bring together children and teenagers through books in many different settings. We would like to reach mainstream and not-so mainstream children. Our 4 goal groups are foster, hospitalized, blind and "regular" kids. The idea is to collect books or to write our own and record these stories onto the computer. When that is done we will make CD's to send to any child who is feeling down, lonely, sad, or sick.

Once a month volunteers get together to prepare and serve a meal at a local church to community members and their families. The majority of those who are served are either deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or developmentally or physically disabled. Many people who come to the feeding are impovershed and live in group homes and may not have any family left in their lives. Others are lucky enough to have family whom they live with and whom accompany them to the feeding.
Volunteers cook each meal as if it was for themselves.
