Scouting benefits everyone. Part of being a Scout is being responsible to help others in need—and not only when wearing the uniform.
Scouting promotes duty to others every day through the Good Turn program, and Scouts are expected every day to do a good turn for someone else. A Good Turn is an act of kindness for which the Scout has no expectation of reward other than the personal feeling of accomplishment achieved through helping others.
The Boy Scouts of America has more than one million registered adult volunteers who provide leadership and support in their local communities. Fifty
percent of Scout volunteers have provided service as an adult leader for six or more years, with 28 percent having volunteered in Scouting for more than 10 years.
