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

The boy Scouts are very close to shutting down completely due to sexual abuse scandals and pay outs to the victims

@Unequal2Trash Being in Tasmania I never saw/experienced/heard about any instances in my Troop.
Not saying it did not happen. Though none of my Troop leaders were ever charged or the like. So most likely we were scandal free.
