Good Turn For America


Good Turn for America- Service Initiative
Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has taught the principles of the Scout Oath and Law through community service and “helping other people at all times.” Good Turn for America (GTFA) is the name under which all that Scouting service happens across the nation and provides a structure in which unit service is recognized and recorded.

Service projects may include, but are not limited to: planting trees, sending care packages to military units overseas, collecting food in Scouting for Food, picking up garbage around your community, etc.

Although GTFA is year-round, the Chief Seattle Council is organizing a concentrated effort in Scouting for Food during the month of March. Each pack can pick the dates that work best in the month and can order door hangers from the council in December.

Start planning your pack service projects, including Scouting for Food, now! Click here for a 2006 Good Turn for America fact sheet. Or if your Scouting group would like to report back to us the details of your service project please click here and fill out this short form.
