Over the years many new improvements, including a downhill ski area, have been constructed at Black Moshannon State Park. Although these improvements represent intrusions to the original park, the areas considered for nomination retain their integrity and are excellent examples of the Civilian Conservation Corps' efforts to develop public outdoor recreational facilities.

Since the early days of the Boy Scouts of America, young Scouts have been in the outdoors exploring it’s beauty and all that Mother Nature has to offer. We are very fortunate here in the heart of the Laurel Highlands to have many camps and properties right at our fingertips. Although each facility is different; each has it’s own attractions that make it unique from the others while still providing a quality program to the countless number of Scouts and Scouters who enter each weekend. Dr. E. Urner Goodman the founder of the Order of the Arrow once said “The order is a thing of the Outdoors.” With this statement in mind Wagion Lodge #6 undertook the project to produce this guide and make it available to all units across the council.
