 Do a Good Turn Daily: The Slogan of the Boy Scouts of AmericaExcerpted: page 563, "The Boy Scout Handbook", cpyrght 1990 by BSA, ISBN 0-8395-3229-6 Do a Good Turn Daily.This is the slogan of the Boy Scouts.Some Good Turns are big - saving a human life .... rescue work in floods .... service in hurricane stricken areas .... recycling community trash .... working with your patrol on a backcountry conservation project. But Good Turms are more often small thoughtful acts - helping a child cross the street ... doing the shopping for an elderly neighbor ... cutting back brush blocking a street sign ... making a new student feel at ease in your school. A Good Trun is more than simple good manners. It is an extra act of kindness. Answering the question of a driver about reaching an address is not really a Good Turn. That is common courtesy. But if you take time to draw a map for him or to lead him to his destination, that extra effort makes it a Good Turn.
