"Since the BSA's inception in 1910, members have learned to live the principles of the Scout Oath and Law through community services and "helping other people at all times." With that history in mind, the BSA has developed a service initiative - Good Turn for America. What began with a singular act of service on a foggy London night quickly evolved into daily Good Turns and then into more encompassing national initiatives. These have included selling war bonds, collecting rubber and scrap metal, growing victory gardens during World War II, and more recently, Good Turn Week."

The pack plans at least one annual community service project in conjuction with Boy Scouts of America's Good Turn Week in November

CANNED FOOD DRIVE

The pack gathers canned/dry goods in the Stony Creek community for donation to a chartiable food bank. In 2009, the pack donated its collections to the Jeffco Action Center, helping to replenish low food supplies.

ABIDING HOPE THANKSGIVING FOOD BASKETS

The pack provides assistance to Abiding Hope Lutheran Church with its Thanksgiving food basket program. Each year, Abiding Hope assembles hundreds of baskets of donated food items, and delivers the baskets to those in need. This is also an opportunity for the pack to volunteer for Abiding Hope in appreciation of Abiding Hope's hospitality as the host facility for the pack's large events (derbies, blue and gold banquet, etc.).
