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.
