  • Budget Unit: State Park Operations and Maintenance
    Fact Sheet Title Budget Unit Brief FY 2017 State Parks Operations and Maintenance Purpose and History The state park system was established in 1920 with the dedication of Backbone State Park. State parks are under the administration of the Parks Bureau in the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Since establishment, the park system has grown to include 56,000 acres in 54 core state parks and satellite areas with supporting facilities that include 5,154 campsites, 86 rental cabins, 147 picnic shelters, 75 modern restrooms, 67 shower buildings, 620 miles of trails, and 51 office and maintenance buildings. Beginning in 2004, the General Assembly appropriated funds from the Environment First Fund (EFF) to the DNR for operation and maintenance of state parks and park facilities. The DNR determines the allocation of appropriated dollars to support operation and maintenance activities. Resources are used to support the following activities: • Seasonal staff – These workers provide important basic maintenance activities in state parks during peak seasons. This includes grass mowing and trimming, cleaning of buildings, gathering trash and scooping ashes from fire rings, and eradicating invasive species and other natural area management activities. Seasonal staff also serves as park interpreters, giving guided nature hikes, campground programs, roving education, and outdoor skills demonstrations. • Facility Maintenance – Supports existing buildings, including preventative routine maintenance and deterioration resulting from deferred maintenance. Specific examples of facilities include cabins, lodges, shelters, picnic tables, restrooms, signs, beaches, trails, bridges, park residences, offices, maintenance shops, and storage buildings. This line item also provides resources to purchase the supplies necessary to maintain facilities.

    Where to go camping Written by: Sac-n-fox lodge #108 #173 Winnebago Council, Boy Scouts of America 2929 Airport Blvd Waterloo, Iowa 50703 319-234-2867 www.winnebagobsa.org The Order of the Arrow The Order of the Arrow is Scouting’s "Brotherhood of Honor Campers." We promote camping and the outdoor experience. We are a regular part of the BSA's camping program. We participate at both the Troop and Council levels. We are guided by the principles of Cheerful Service. This guide is an example of that cheerful service. Purpose of the Order of the Arrow 1. To recognize the campers - Scouts and Scouters - who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner to warrant recognition. 2. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. 3. To promote scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as part of the Unit? Camping program, to help the District and Council camping program both year around and in the Summer Camp, as directed by the Camping Committee and the Council. 4. To crystalize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. History Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948, the Order of the arrow, recognized as the Boy Scouts of America's national brotherhood of honored campers, became an official part of the camping program of the Boy Scouts of America.
