Scouting provides youth with an opportunity to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards. All of this and more can be accomplished by helping our Scouts participate in service. Participating in the BSA's Good Turn in November program helps your Scouts develop habits of life-long service to others.  

Our partnership with JustServe.org makes it easy for units to find Good Turn in November service projects. Units are encouraged to post pictures on our council's Facebook account or Tweet at our account showing their Scouts working on Good Turn in November service projects.
