Day of scouts and good deeds

September 5, Thursday

In Argentina it is customary to celebrate the Scout Good Turn Day every year on September 5 . In some cases, the scouts collect food for the homeless. But it has recently been extended to assemble in the city's square with a fleur de lis and disposable plastic bottle caps. The recyclable material is then donated to children's hospitals to take care of children with complex health problems. One of the major benefitting organizations is the Juan Pedro Garrahan National Pediatric Hospital Foundation.
