Last year, local Scouts and units recorded over 100,000 hours of community service to share our good deed with our communities.

Good Turn for America is a national call to service by the Boy Scouts of America to address the issues of hunger, homelessness, and poor health in our nation. In this effort, the Boy Scouts of America is partnering with some of the nation's most respected service organizations, including The Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross, the American Cancer Society, America's Second Harvest, and the Department of Homeland Security. These organizations and thousands of others will work to provide opportunities for youth and volunteers to fight hunger and homelessness, and teach the habits of healthy living.

Youth and volunteers are looking for ways to serve their communities. At the same time, service organizations need dedicated volunteer help. By working together, we can improve our young people, our communities, and the nation.

Good Turn for America is also a long term effort to record good turn projects done in our communities. Every unit is assigned a unique Good Turn for America ID number with which to record information about service projects on the special web site set up for this purpose.

Service projects may be entered throughout the year as they are done, no matter how big or small. After you enter the data for each project, your unit will be eligible to receive the Good Turn for America patch and year segment which can be obtained from the Scout Shop.

All you need is your unit's Good Turn for America ID number. If you do not have your unit’s Good Turn for America ID number with which to enter the information on the website, contact the Council Office at (877)925-1900.
