Attention all Packs, Troops & Crews - Want to do some service for Camp?

There are numerous projects both big and small at Holaka and Tapico that can be done by Scouts and Scouters, young and old! However, there is also a process to approve all projects before you start.

Download the project approval form from the “Camps” tab on the left hand side of the Tall Pine Council website homepage (www.tpcbsa.org). Fill it out and submit a copy to the Scout Service Center (keep a copy for yourself). It will then be reviewed by the properties committee which meets on the first Thursday of each month. If approved, bring your copy with you for the Rangers to sign off on when the project is done.

This process will help us keep track of the materials and labor done at our camps, and make sure that volunteer efforts are in line with the long-term strategic plan for Council Camp Properties.

What can we do, you ask? Take pride in your Council Camps, and live the Scout Oath and Law! Contact the Camp Rangers for ideas of projects that may be suitable for your Scouting unit. There are many projects that will always be needed: Painting, campsite clean-up, roofing, trail maintenance, waterfront clean-up, dock repair, sign painting & maintenance, construction projects, demolition, mechanical work and more.

Do you have ideas and suggestions for the maintenance and improvement of our camps? Let us know, we want to hear from you.
