Boy Scouts of America and American Red Cross GOOD TURN FOR AMERICA
Working together to build a safer, healthier community
The American Red Cross and the Boy Scouts of America have worked together for more than 80 years to help America in times of great need. Whether helping the military during international conflict, or helping a community after a devastating catastrophe, volunteers from both organizations make a difference in millions of Americans’ lives every day.
Through the American Red Cross, Scouts and volunteers have an opportunity to make a positive difference in every community while reinforcing the habits of service that will last a lifetime. Whether you’re part of a Red Cross
chapter seeking volunteers, or a Scout leader looking for youth volunteer opportunities, this brochure can help you determine how best to serve your community.
Good Turn for America is a call to service by the Boy Scouts of America to address the critical issues of health, hunger, and inadequate housing. To address these challenges, the Boy Scouts of America has partnered with the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and The Salvation Army. Each of these organizations will provide countless hours of service to thousands of communities each year.
