Journey to Excellence-Service Hours
A Call to Service Initiative!
Scouting was founded on the premise of doing a Good Turn daily. Community service is very important in the character-building process and, as Scouts, we have made the commitment to give back to our communities. This is a time for all Scouting groups to conduct meaningful, visible service projects of their choice in our communities. You are encouraged to discuss and choose your projects with the help of your Scouts, unit committee, and chartered organization. All Scouting groups are encouraged to participate in this service project initiative!
The new Journey to Excellence service hour website will replace the Good Turn for America website, so there will never be duplication.
Recording Service Hours
You will need your unit ID* (five to 11 digits) and your unit number (four digits, no letters). You can get this information by calling Buckeye Council, 330-580-4272. *Please note, this is the same ID number used for Internet Advancement.
