All students at Weymouth High School are required to complete community service in order to graduate.
Currently the applicable community service excludes Scouting activities. So if you son participates as a Scout in a community service activity, such as the Herring Run Cleanup for example, he is not eligible to count those hours. However, if he participates as a "civilian" he may be able to count those hours toward his annual requirement.
To date there has been no explanation provided as to why this requirement excludes Scouting activities.
Principal Laura Stevenson will address this at the WEYMOUTH SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEETING
on October 13, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. at the Weymouth High School – Humanities Center.
on October 13, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. at the Weymouth High School – Humanities Center.
Please make an effort to attend and advocate for your son and for our Scouting program. Scouts typically perform 20-30 hours of community service on an annual basis.
