4. Meet with a government or community leader, and learn about his or her role in your community. Discuss with the leader an important issue facing your community.  
1. I'm going to email city politicians and see if anyone will come to a meeting for 15 min

   .
6. Do at least one of these:

         .

           A. Learn about Scouting in another part of the world. With the help of your parent, 
                 guardian, or den leader, pick one country where Scouting exists, and research 
                 its Scouting program.
            (we are doing this one)

•              Here is the separate Handout I made(not the one above), with 9 different countries, so you can have each scout read one and then tell the "cool parts". If somebody wants to put together one page blurbs on other countries scouting I'll add them. They are all Excepts from #1 below, just reformatted to be easily handed out.
