In the summer of 1996, BOSS moved to building 1849, where members began a self-help project to renovate the building. Building 1849 subsequently was scheduled for demolition, and in 1997, BOSS was moved to its current meeting place, the Community Activity Center in building 2000. In its relatively short history on the post, the Fort McCoy BOSS Program has launched several enterprising initiatives that have been of benefit to single soldiers as well as the Fort McCoy community as a whole. The BOSS Garden Plot project began in the spring of 1995. Through the auspices of this program, any member of the Fort McCoy community may rent, for a nominal fee, a tilled plot of land in a secure setting on which to grow a vegetable or flower garden.
BOSS also provides gardeners with common-use water hoses and garden tools.
