I remember the cub scouts like way over 40 years ago, and my den mother was a very nice lady but the cub scout thing didn't last much and I never climbed the ranks for that organization. Funny how things turn out. Then I join the Marines to carry a gun.....hehehehe....XBOX? Honestly, I don't even know what that is. I don't have one. Is it for games or is it for watching movies. Gotta be one or the other. Again, no offense intended, just having fun on debating, don't mean to sound too opinionated, I value all you your inputs here as well as others.
Glad no one was offended and that no one meant offense. I actually don't play xbox or any of those gaming things. I try and limit my movie/tv intake by a good bit, when I do watch something there isn't anything like a good documentary. That's not to say I don't have fun, I do, I take CLEP tests (...jk!).
On a serious note, for filling in "blank spots" on a resume, I don't think that's a bad idea. Serving and helping isn't anything new to me, and it's good to hear that employers like that stuff.
I did want to say, as far as volunteering when you're old (or older), I'd rather do it when I'm young. It's not that you can't do it the other way around, but it's the youth that has the strength, energy, time, not as many strings, and other things that frees them up. At least, that's my $0.02.
