Olympic Team Good Turn
Because of the United States boycott of the
1980 Moscow Olympics, some Scout
leaders have questioned whether or not
the Olympic Team Good Turn will
continue.
The BSA designed the Olympic Team
Good Turn to provide council and unit
leaders a program tool to influence fitness,
service, and the opportunity to do a Good
Turn for America's fine amateur athletes.
This Good Turn supports the objectives of
the BSA. It identifies our members with
the U.S. Olympic Team. It is an exciting,
colorful, and simple program that will
continue throughout the summer, perhaps
longer pending a decision by Coca Cola
U.S.A., the program's cosponsor.
Participating packs, troops, and posts
see that members join in a fitness activity
and that each participant makes a personal
contribution of one dollar to the Olympic
Team. An embroidered patch goes to each
participant.
Coca Cola will send a free Olympic
Team Good Turn kit explaining how to
take part to all unit leaders who request
one. Write to: Olympic Team Good Turn,
P.O. Box 88803, Atlanta, Ga. 30338.
