LEAVE NO TRACE TRAINER COURSE

March 26th thru 28th (Adults only)
April 30th thru May 2nd (Youth only)

"Leave No Trace is an awareness and an attitude rather than a set of rules.
 It applies in your backyard or local park as much as in the backcountry.
We should all practice Leave No Trace in our thinking and actions--wherever we go".

The principles of Leave No Trace have been recently integrated into many areas of the scouting program . . . from Cub Scouting to second and first class Boy Scout rank advancements, merit badges and many outdoor programs and activities. In addition, a new Boy Scout leadership position has been developed called "Leave No Trace Trainer". To help facilitate these changes, we will be offering the three day Leave No Trace Trainer course for both youth and adults during selected times of the year.

The classes will be conducted in the field throughout the day on Saturday and during an overnight backpacking trek to the HSR wilderness area. Upon successful completion of the course, each participant will be registered as a certified LNT Trainer with the national Leave No Trace office in Boulder Colorado and authorized to teach LEAVE NO TRACE AWARENESS programs.

I case you weren't aware, the Horseshoe Scout Reservation is the home to several pairs of nesting Bald Eagles.

The bald eagle is protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The Bald Eagle Protection Act prohibits any action or activity that might disturb a nesting pair, as well as making it illegal to collect eagles and eagle parts, nests, or eggs without a permit. Please be considerate of these magnificent birds while you are out at HSR. For more information, please contact one of our Rangers.

Congratulations Octoraro Lodge 22 for being the 2010 recipients of largest National Order of the Arrow Committee service grant in the country. It has been awarded to the lodge for refurbishing hiking trails in the Horseshoe Scout Reservation and connecting to trails in the adjacent Goat Hills Public Wild Plant Sanctuary. For the past several years, the National Order of the Arrow Committee has provided matching service grants for a limited number of projects submitted by application to the national OA office. The evaluators considered the innovative scope and design of the project, the number of Scouts impacted by the project, and how the project enhances Cub Scouting or Boy Scouting in the council.
