[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child just said he had over 300 hours of documented community service hours. None involved school building in Africa. Most were associated with boy scouts and local.[/quote] Service hours with the Boy Scouts might not count towards fulfilling the HS service hour requirement but those hours might get looked at by college admissions. (300+ hours is A LOT of service hours!) My boys did lots of service hours during their years in Cub Scouts and they earned badges/advancements in Cub Scouts for those efforts but none of it will go on their college applications because they earned those things before HS. Had they continued through Boy Scouts in HS - you betcha they would put that on their college applications. If they had become Eagle Scouts you can bet that would go on their college applications, too. And if they had worked 300+ service hours in Scouts - that would absolutely be mentioned.[/quote]
