Good Turn for America

Since the BSA's inception in 1910, Scouts and Scouters alike have learned to live the principles of the Scout Oath and Law through community service and "helping other people at all times." With our rich history in mind, we have developed Good Turn for America. What began with a singular act of service on a foggy London night quickly evolved into daily Good Turns and then into more encompassing national initiatives. These have included selling war bonds, collecting rubber and scrap metal, growing victory gardens during World War II, and more recently, Scouting for Food.

Good Turn for America builds on our members' and participants' current service efforts and includes important partnerships with other community service organizations. These partnerships provide many additional avenues for all of our members and participants to provide community service in their neighborhoods.
