Catch the Wave!  Are you ready?  Let’s do it!
There’s never been anything like it in Canada! 
From March 7 – 13, 2010, Scouts Canada is celebrating our first ever National Good Turn Week, and we are totally pumped.   Each of our youth will be wearing a bright orange “Good Turn” wristband, but they won’t stay on for long.  They’ll do a good turn, pass on the wristband, then that person will do a good turn and pass on the wristband, and pretty soon, everybody will be catching the wave.  Remember, it all starts with just one good turn to show everybody the goodness that makes us all great!  For healthy, active living, for leadership, for a cleaner world… for good: that’s Scouting!  For more information call 1-888-Scouts-Now.
