  • Council Conservation Committee Guidebook Council Conservation Committee Guidebook
    COUNCIL CONSERVATION COMMITTEE GUIDEBOOK COUNCIL CONSERVATION COMMITTEE GUIDEBOOK A WORD FROM THE CHIEF SCOUT EXECUTIVE Conservation is woven throughout the fabric of Scouting and has been in our DNA since the BSA’s founding in 1910. Our early leaders, James E. West, Ernest Thompson Seton, and Dan Beard, along with President Theodore Roosevelt, recognized the inherent value of conservation activities and made these core to the Scouting experience. Contemporary conservation policies and practices have been developed and reinforced throughout the years, including a requirement that each council forms a conservation committee to assure that camps are managed in accordance with sound resource management principles. In addition, advancement activities and awards have been created to encourage Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers to be grounded in the principles of conservation, helping them become well-rounded individuals and citizens. This guide, written by the National Conservation Committee, was developed to inform, guide, and inspire local council volunteers and staff for establishing and strengthening conservation activities. Use it to review and evaluate conservation efforts in delivering an exceptional Scouting program to the youth of the communities you serve. Robert J. Mazzuca Chief Scout Executive 430-022 2011 Printing 2 | COUNCIL CONSERVATION COMMITTEE GUIDEBOOK V TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ........................................................................................................ 4 Purpose ........................................................................................................
