The Conservation Good Turn Award is an opportunity for Cub Scout packs, Scout troops and Venturing crews to join with conservation or environmental organizations (federal, state, local, or private) to carry out a conservation Good Turn in their home communities.
The Scouting unit contacts a conservation agency and offers to carry out a Good Turn project.
The agency identifies a worthwhile and needed project that the unit can accomplish.
Working together in the local community, the unit and the agency plan the details and establish the date, time, and location for carrying out the project.
