SERVICE WEEKENDS

Volunteers help prepare our Boy Scout and Cub World camps to open through spring work weekends.  We need persons with construction skills, painters, general labor, and other skills that will prepare our facilities for the  campers we serve at Onteora and the 2500 plus Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts we serve year round at Schiff Scout Reservation.

TROOP & PACK SERVICE PROJECTS

"To help other people at all times." That part of the Scout Oath reminds us to be of service to others, and a patrol or troop service project at camp is especially fitting.  The rangers keep a list of projects that can be conducted under adult oversight.  Typical project will include trail maintenance, erosion control, courtesy wood piles for campsites, and litter control. 

Service projects with a conservation theme might include tree planting, installing check dams, crate brush piles for wildlife habitat, etc.  Cub Scout Packs can participate in the Conservation Good Turn program.

The camp will provide basic tools for a majority of the jobs.
