 Chicagoland Fire Safety Good Turn The Boy Scout Councils of the Chicago metropolitan area are participating in a fire safety good turn for our neighbors. Every Scout is asked to distribute door hangers reminding their neighbors to take several actions to prevent fire disasters: check their smoke alarm batteries and plan family escape routes, among others. Those Scouts who participate will recieve a Good Turn Fire Safety patch from the Scout Store.
