The Boy Scouts of America - Scout Slogan

Do a Good Turn Daily.

The Boy Scout slogan is simple, but if followed would make everyone's heads turn.

Not every "Good Turn" needs to even be something big. For example it could be something as simple as picking up someones papers they dropped, opening the door for another, or picking up trash to clean up your community.

It is the small acts of kindness and service that go a long way! Everyone could take a page out of the Boy Scout's handbook. Do a Good Turn Daily! It's not just good manners, it's a way of life.

History of the Scout Slogan:
The Scout Slogan was developed by Baden-Powell. He felt that this slogan was the main duty God asks of us.

 "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."

He believed that fulfilling our duty to God by serving others not only fulfills that duty, but makes us happier in the process.

The point behind this he thought to be not the deed itself but the act of putting others before yourself.
