Do the Boy Scouts still do, "Bob a Job"?(both)

When I was a Scout we had Bob a Job week as a fundraiser.
Visiting peoples homes to do jobs for them. Be it Gardening, Window /Car Washing etc.
We would be paid in Bobs, 20 cent increments. Though most people paid $1 or $2.
We also had "Bottle Week"
We went door to door collecting bottles for recycling cash.
I'm talking 1970's and 80's

@Gusman I was kidding I didn't get kicked out, but tried to pass second clad cooking or something grabbed a potato and a piece of roast went off by myself started a fire ,cooked it and the assistant failed me saying i wouldn't have found those if alone or something like that, guess i should have eaten some bugs. The kind of guy that barely made the military and his only line of defense would be something like don't mess with me i know fifty ways to kill with my bare hands.
If anyone ever suss don't mess with me I was inn the marines go ahead and punch him, every marines that ever served will thank you. TMI huh
