Resource Stewardship Scout Ranger Service Projects

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: National Park Service

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.

Overview


The Resource Stewardship Scout Ranger and Resource Stewardship Girl Scout Ranger programs invite scouts to participate in educational and/or volunteer service projects at National Park Service sites. These activities spark their awareness of the national parks, providing scouts the opportunity to explore their national parks and learn more about protecting our natural and cultural resources. By participating in educational activities or volunteer service projects a scout can earn:

  • The Resource Stewardship Ranger Certificate (5 hours)
  • The Resource Stewardship Ranger Patch (10 hours)


How to Participate


For decades, scout troops and packs have assisted park rangers at Golden Spike National Historical Park by participating in service projects to maintain and preserve the site for this and future generations of visitors. To have your troop or pack participate in a service project, have one adult leader of your troop or pack complete an application and our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you about potential projects the park may have available. To help us zero in on a project that is best suited for your troop or pack, please list on the application the estimated size of your group and a range of ages for the participants.


Projects that have been completed by troops and packs in the past include:

  • Litter Patrol around the Visitor Center
  • Litter Patrol along park roadways
  • Splitting logs for use on our wood-burning locomotive, Jupiter
  • Painting bleachers and out buildings
  • Assisting park staff with track work and replacing railroad ballast at the Last Spike Site
  • Grounds keeping efforts around the Visitor Center, Last Spike Site, Distant Thunder , and Monument to Their Memory
  • Trail work on the Big Fill Loop Trail
