Ian, You should contact the Triangle United Way's "TEAMing for Technology" group. They have a program that refurbishes computers that are donated by individuals and companies to distribute to local non-profits. Volunteers refurbish the machines, so it would be a great opportunity for the scouts to donate time fixing the machines that you'd probably be able to take to distribute to the needy.
