Scouting at the Chapter

The Chapter charters several local scout troops and cub packs as well as offering facilities for other groups to use. Throughout the year, Scouts use the property for weekend campouts, merit badge instruction, orienteering, and conservation service projects that directly benefit the chapter’s trails, ponds, and wildlife habitats. Many Eagle Scout candidates complete significant projects here, building bridges, benches, trail signs, and bird boxes that continue to serve the community. These efforts not only improve the property but also foster long-term stewardship among young people learning to care for natural spaces. The chapter’s emphasis on outdoor ethics aligns closely with the Scout Oath and Law, making it a natural partner for youth who want to deepen their connection to nature through hands-on experience.

Through scouting, hundreds of youth each year gain practical outdoor experience, contribute to real conservation outcomes, and carry forward the League’s mission: to conserve, restore, and promote the sustainable use of our natural resources for generations to come.
