The Service Committee will support of broad view of "service" focused on these three categories:

Service to Local Communities and the Public:  Activities of benefit to the community in which a member resides, which may/may not be focused on dogs.  Some examples may include: volunteering with shelters or dog clubs, volunteering with community activities, participation in food/supply drives for humane societies/shelters, joining charitable fundraising "dog walk" and other events, therapy dog and service dog  work in schools and nursing homes, and the like.

Service to the Scottie Community:  Educating our membership about STCA and university research programs designed to help preserve and maintain the health of our breed.  Some examples include: submitting information to the STCA DNA databank, pedigree databank and/or longevity databank projects and/or pertinent health studies, encouraging members to have fun with their Scotties showcasing their well trained companions who are good canine ambassadors through obedience training, earning a Canine Good Citizen credential/service dog/therapy dog credenial, and increasing awareness of the breed at a variety of public events.

Service to our Members (Each Other):  Primarily an educational focus to share information with our members about issues and opportunities for our Scotties.  Some examples include lists of resources, providing educational materials and workshops, sharing updates about new advances in testing and vet care, and the like.

Purpose: To encourage community service as a means of providing additional opportunities for our members to engage with their dogs, each other, and their communities as well as showcase the Scottish Terriers' ability to bring joy in yet another meaningful way.
