Extra Programs
The environment and the need to conserve it is an important part of the Boy Scout program. Taking advantage of the many programs in the E/Con area is an excellent way for Scouts to get the full Scouting experience.

Hiking Trails
The Owl, The Beaver, The Turtle, or the new Raccoon trail, are all wonderful trails to see the true beauty that is in nature. Or ask the E/Con staff to guide you on a Ravine Hike, along the cool shadows of this natural wonder. Study the formations, follow in Bigfoot's footsteps, see the waterfalls and more.

Conservation Projects
A Conservation Project gives you a chance to put your spirit into the beauty of our camp. These two-hour projects include anything from trail maintenance to developing wildlife habitats as well as meeting award requirements.

World Conservation Award
Take Environmental Science and either Soil & Water Conservation or Fish & Wildlife Management merit badges in the E/Con area, and already have earned Citizenship in the World merit badge. Then you can earn the World Conservation Award.

Afternoon Program
Each day a patrol will be assigned to the E/Con area for an afternoon session. At these sessions patrols can enjoy the hiking trails, do conservation projects, or maybe work on requirements for other E/Con activities. The E/Con Staff is there to help the Scouts and Leaders enjoy their time at camp, ask about other activities that may be available for you to enjoy.
