Good Turn for America
Service is an important part of the Scouting program. Often is also the best kept secret. Let it out! What services do you provide? Eagle projects, conservation projects, food drives, toy drives, community clean-ups, flag retirements and ceremonies; they all count. To get your login information, please contact Patti Seale, 238-8444 or email pjs112460@yahoo.com, for helping to make GTFA a more utilized program.

**Where is your service? As of September 13, we have logged 1,376 hours, but only eight (8) units have reported and NO Eagle projects have been logged in. 439 hours have been logged in providing food, 163 hours in healthy living, and 774 hours in other services which includes conservation, military support, and other services not described. So does your unit provide service? We don’t know if you don’t tell us. Log your hours today!

Volunteer Search
We are looking for parents and past volunteers to help with district operation. We are currently looking for Roundtable staffs, Commissioners to add to our staff, and committee members for several of the District’s committees. If you know of someone who would be good to help with training, recruitment, commissioner work, or has other attributes that would be beneficial to Scouting, please let us know.
