83. Increase positive visibility through good acts?
Does the grocery store have a significant number of elderly who walk their groceries home? Perhaps you could have scouts nearby to assist.

Try to think of some sort of things to do that would benefit the school, like fundraising for something the school needs, and donating it in the name of the cub pack. (New projector, computer, new encyclopedias for library, etc.)

Maybe there are aids patients in the community who could use some yardwork.

Kill them with kindness and compassion, and be visible doing it.
