Conservation Good Turn Award...

The Conservation Good Turn is an opportunity for Boy Scout troops to join with conservation or environmental organizations (federal, state, local, or private) to carry out a conservation Good Turn in their home communities. 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.

Conservation projects should involve the entire troop - scouts, leaders, and family members. Hands-on projects help Boy Scouts realize that everyone can do things to care for the environment. Scouts participating in the Conservation Good Turn can also meet some advancement requirements.

Some suggested projects could be:

* Plant shrubs to provide food and cover for wildlife.
* Conduct stream improvement projects to prevent erosion.
* Plant tree seedlings as part of a managed forestry plan.
* Assist a local agency with a trout stream restoration project.
* Develop a nature trail in a public park.

The patch can be worn as a temporary insignia.
