At the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year, OU SCAMS organized a National Weather Center-wide Red Cross fundraiser for the Greensburg, KS tornado disaster. Chapter members also served as science fair judges and National Weather Center tour guides. Many OU SCAMS members volunteered at the annual National Weather Center WeatherFest and the University of Oklahoma campus-wide community service project, the Big Event. Upperclassmen also participated in a School of Meteorology mentoring program for the freshmen members. Recently, the chapter also donated food to an Oklahoma City food pantry.
This year, OU SCAMS inaugurated a severe weather safety outreach program geared towards local elementary schools. Chapter members visited several schools and gave an introduction to severe weather and the field of meteorology in a comprehensive, hands-on way to all ages, from preschool to fifth grade.
