Eagle scout project brings community together

[DiveHeart]

Eagle Scout Jason Marquardt of troop 725 chose Diveheart for his Eagle Scout Project which concluded today after six months of planning. Today's Diveheart Scuba Experience program helped people in the community with disabilities escape gravity for the first time at Scuba Emporium in Orland Park Illinois. Huge thanks to the scouts, volunteers, participants and Pat Hammer of Scuba Emporium for the donation of his facility for the event. Jason is a shining example of what people can do when the put SERVICE ABOVE SELF…Thank you Jason for your leadership.

"Service above self " is the motto of Rotary international

"Do a good turn daily" is and always has been the motto of the Boy Scouts of America

FYI

From the inception of the Scouting movement, Scouts have been urged to "Do a Good Turn Daily", as it is the official slogan for the Boy Scouts of America. "Some Good Turns are big - saving a life, helping out after floods or other disasters, recycling community trash, working with your patrol on conservation projects. But Good Turns are often small, thoughtful acts - helping a child cross a busy street, going to the store for an elderly neighbor, cutting back brush that is blocking a sign, doing something special for a brother or sister, welcoming a new student to your school. A Good Turn is more than simple good manners. It is a special act of kindness.

Thank you for the great response…my scoutmaster had one arm and was inspiration for all of us in the troop. He also encouraged us to do a good turn daily.
