Winter Good Turns
 | Gathering firewood from the woods, for an aged couple or needy home. |
| Cutting and piling firewood in a handy place for those who cannot do it for themselves. |
| Keeping paths clear of snow around the Scout's own home, and for a helpless neighbor. |
| Looking after the furnace and ashes in the Scout's own cellar, and where trouble in a neighbor's home calls for such a Good Turn. |
| Keeping fire hydrants dear of snow. |
| Taking care of bird shelters and feeding stations where there are winter birds. |
| Having an eye open for unprotected horses and stray animals suffering from cold. |
| Making use of Merit Badge knowledge, such as plumbing, in time of need. |
| Marking danger spots at skating resorts. |
| Guarding school children at the foot of coasting hills. |
| Substituting for the church janitor in the care of the furnace in an emergency. |
| Lending skates and sleds to boys and girls who cannot afford them. |
| Establishing an emergency station where there is skating, equipped with plenty of rope, one or two sleds, and boards, and other life-saving apparatus, ready for use in case of anyone's breaking through the ice; where feasible, Scouts in relays in charge during skating hours. (This "Good Turn" is primarily a community responsibility, and Scouts should work proper authorities.) |
