[quote=Anonymous]I’m late to this thread, but we’re local to you.  Recent scouts have done projects at an elementary school in Fairfax, a preschool, and local swim club. Our sponsoring organization also has project availability even for those who aren’t members of that church.  My son is a life scout and I’ve asked in passing the park director at Lake Accotink and Winkler Botanical Reserve if they work with scouts and both said yes and are eager for scouts to partner with them.  Scheduling an informational interview will give him an idea of what the park or organization needs so he can design his project around it.

I don’t think you are going to be able to access a DV shelter for your project.  One of my GS tried to do that for her silver award, her mom was a vetted volunteer with them, and they didn’t want the daughter to know the location.

If he’s interested in working with a shelter there is a family homeless shelter in Alexandria that would be a great partner.

If he’s interested in working with animals, instead of contacting the shelters, he might have better luck contacting a rescue.  They also have a ton of needs and no government funding.  Prince George’s County is a breed restricted county, no bully breeds, so the rescues looking to rehome pitties are always overwhelmed.  Maybe there is a synergy there.

Good luck![/quote]
