The goal of a service project is to realize that we should shift our focus from ourselves and to focus on positively impacting others. And Watt’s has exhibited this spirit! Through the month of November, students participated in a coupon collection that benefits the TROOPONS® program. TROOPONS® is an amazing program! Coupons can be used on overseas military bases for up to six months past their expiration date. Many military families rely on donated coupons to help offset the expense of living overseas. Shopping abroad can be especially tough for military families. Donated coupons can make a difference! On the evening of December 5th, students from We Serve Too, Watts Leadership, Meet in the Middle, PALS (Clemens and Steele), staff, and parents came together to sort the many coupons into four categories: food, non-food, pet, and baby items. Watts set a goal of collecting 6,500 coupons, but quickly exceeded that goal!

What is a Veteran? Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking. He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel. She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang. He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back AT ALL. He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs. He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by.

September 29, 2013, South Korea:
Good Job Troop 81 and Venture Crew 73 in South Korea!
SupportOurTroops.Org recently delivered a 40 foot container of MWR (morale, welfare and recreation ) materials to the 30,000+ American troops stationed in South Korea. They remain there since the Korea War to continue protecting the peaceful South Koreans against communist aggressors who would prefer to invade and tell them what to do. These MWR goods were assembled by the Boy Scouts of America on this side of the Pacific, and the Scouts on the other side of the Pacific thought it would be a good idea they helped start the distribution out to the military service members over there. So Troop 81 and Venture Crew 73 near Camp Humphreys in South Korea took over the gymnasium and started the process. Good job scouts!
