Services
Scouts are involved in their communities. They perform service hours within those communities, and we encourage them to look at conservation and sustainability in our environment in particular for some of those hours. These are not by any means the only organizations that perform conservation-related tasks in the area, but if you're looking for a place to start, here are a few options.
