Service Project Opportunities
| Project | Time | Tools | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cut Tree Clean Up | 1 hour | None required | The ranger or campmaster will place a camp trailer at a location where cut logs need to be removed. Your job is to load the trailer. The fire wood will later be taken to a fire ring for scout use. |
| Cut up downed tree limbs | 1 to 2 hours | Bow saws provided by camp | Your job is to cut up limbs and stack wood next to the campsite fire ring. If the wood is to be moved, the camp trailer will be placed near the limbs for loading. |
| Chipping downed trees | 1 to 2 hours | Large chipper provided by camp | This job requires adults with safety gear to operate a large chipper. Scouts can drag limbs near the chipper, but scouts and others under age 21 cannot be in the direct chipping area. Your job would be to run downed limbs through the chipper. The chipper would be placed where work is needed. Chips coming out would be allowed to pile up and remain there for use in the future. |
| GPS locations of Orienteering Posts | 5 hours | Your GPS | Your job would be to take the map the ranger has and locate the post markers and record the location. In places where markers have been removed, make a note and we will replace them at at later time. It may take some looking to find the markers. We have what should be written on the marker, so you will know when you get to the correct marker. |
| Replace downed split rail fence sections | 1 to 2 hours | Post hole diggers, shovels | Your job would be to take posts and rails around camp, and where you see one down or broken, replace them. Clean up site and return everything to the compound. |
