CAMP PROJECTS:

Are you interested in completing a troop service project or doing a Highest Award project for camp? Follow the appropriate link below to complete the online request form. Troops completing projects at camp are a great way to complete take action part of a journey or just to get service hours by giving back to camps. Our camp properties are ever changing and therefore projects must serve a purpose and address a common issue or need at camp. Approved projects also may not be permanent fixtures on camp and may be removed or changed as needed for the future growth and development of the property.
