Piedmont Community Service Crew
Piedmont Service Crew
(PSC- Middle School)
A part of Piedmont Council BSA (Explorer Club number 0001), Piedmont Service Club (PSC) is for middle school students and their parents to engage in community service. PSC activities mirror those of PCSC, with just a few age-limited exceptions, so the opportunities are extensive.
​​
Between PSC and PCSC we do much more than just service - we strive to fast-track youth into leadership opportunities, in a way where they are given the thrill of finally having a stake in what they do, and some responsibility and sense of independence. All the while, they are guided by peers, older youth, and the Club Advisor.
​
Age-eligible youth and parents are welcome to join anytime of the year. After your first year as a registered member, renew annually for subsequent years via the BSA website and providing club dues to the PCSC VP Accounting.
When your youth graduates from 8th grade or reaches 14 years in age, they are ready to transition from PSC to the Piedmont Community Service Crew (PCSC)! Note that they'll have to register separately via the BSA website.
Club members should attend events with a parent, but a club parent may bring and chaperone up to 4 club members.
