I don’t suppose that my time as a Scout Master in the Boy Scouts of America counts. Probably not.
Probably not, but that raises another concern.
When I first read this, I thought, you know, it wouldn't hurt to have everyone spend a week at the local mission feeding the homeless. It could make us thankful for what we have and be a motivator.
However, instead of serving at the local Christian mission that meets both physcial and spiritual needs, they would route the effort to some secular outfit that only meets physical needs. And in the process actually hurt the Christian ministry. It'd be just like United Way. All Secular all the time.
Hey, Boy Scout Master wouldn't work, but I bet you could serve your time for Planned Parenthood encouraging abortions or filling out voter registration cards from the phone book for ACORN.

Might want to run that by your neighborhood Commissar, but you’re right — probably not. Nor would involvement in your church, either.
