“Sock Wars” is a popular indoor or outdoor game for Scouts where participants roll up brand-new socks into soft balls to use in a safe, fun dodgeball-style game. The core idea is to buy new socks for the game and then donate those clean, unused socks to a local charity, homeless shelter, or veteran support group afterward.

How the Sock Wars Service Project Works

• Buy new socks: Scouts bring pairs of brand-new, unopened socks to the meeting.

• Play the game: Use the bundled new socks as soft "snowballs" or dodgeballs for team target games and fort building.

• Collect and donate: Gather the clean socks after the game and deliver them to a local shelter, veterans home, or community charity drive.
