  8. Service Projects
    • Members will accumulate a minimum of 16 service credits per academic year (minimum 8 semester) to maintain service eligibility
    • Service credits can be earned by doing service type work or for the community and/or school. This work must be above and beyond normal duty (Approx. one credit per hour of service)
    • Service work done during school hours will accumulate at the rate of 1/2 credit per hour. Students will still be responsible for all work missed and must turn in assignments due that day.
    • EXPLANATION NOTE: Normal duty would include duties to family and/or other organizations or religous affiliations (such as mowing a yard, setting up for a special event.) These do not qualify for service credits. To earn service credits during school hours, the students must have a signed note from the teacher or principal.
    • Service credits are also accumulated at the rate of 1/4 a service credit for each meeting attended for members and pledges and 1/2 a service credit for officers.
    • By not attending meetings credits can be deducted at the same rate.
