grounding electrical boxes

I have run a new 240 line for my electric range. 6 guage, three wire with a bare ground. I'm using the current up to date receptacle as this is a new range.
My question is this, I have used a metal electrical box, do I need to tie in the bare ground to the box itself? There is no green screw or clip to be found.

Thanks

I guess it should have been obvious, Ive been using blue plastic boxes up to now and needed some clarification on the metal thing. Yes, the ground wire is 10 guage and is now pigtailed to the box.
