Good Turn for America

As your unit completes any service project, you can register your time and earn patches! The Good Turn for America initiative addresses three critical areas of need in our society: hunger, homelessness and poor health. Through this multi-year initiative, the Boy Scouts of America aims to accomplish the following:

• Inspire youth and adult leaders in and out of Scouting to higher levels of service and volunteerism.
• Provide additional program experiences to help youth members learn qualities of good citizenship and gain a sense of belonging to, and being needed in, their communities.
• Build service collaborations with community organizations across every community in the country.
• Affirm the BSA as the nation's leading collaborating organization in community service.
• Heighten our nation's awareness of BSA's service commitment to all communities and citizens.

Registration at www.goodturnforamerica.org is an easy process, but it does require your unit to have a Unit ID. To find out your Unit ID, just call the Scout Office at 770-227-4556 or email us for the information.

Some of the projects undertaken by Flint River Council units are:
Clothing collections for Katrina victims

Park clean-up
