”One of the things that scouting tries to teach is service to others and do a good turn daily. This is a great way that we give back to the community and also teach our scouts about helping other people at all times. That is in our scout motto and this is the largest single good turn that we do every year for the communities,” executive director of Mankato Boy Scouts, Ray Brauer said.
