Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation is pleased to offer scouts and volunteers a variety of projects to complete. Unfortunately, we cannot offer the funding that goes along with these projects and we look to the scouts and volunteers to complete fundraising efforts or ask for donations.
Below is a list of sample projects available. If you are interested in one of these projects, or have an idea for something else not listed, please let us know! Call 385-0400, or email
