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

They don't let kids do that anymore really. I kid you not, some places will crack down on kids trying to mow lawns for money because they don't have business licenses and to protect all the yard service businesses that are everywhere nowadays.

@ViciDraco The world has become a sad place indeed. Money/Profit and Corruption is destroying Community Spirit.

@Gusman everyone's gotta earn a dollar, and tough luck if someone more powerful than you wants your dollar.
