Scouts BSA Eagle Projects and Girl Scout Gold Awards
Woodcock Nature Center has an ongoing list of project opportunities for Scouts BSA Eagle and Girl Scouts achieving their Gold Award. Many project needs include construction on our trails (boardwalks over muddy areas, additional trail seating for programs) or educational and conservation components (creative elements on trails, interactive wildlife signage, native pollinator restoration).
If you are interested in completing a service project with us, please email Kevin Andros at kandros@woodcocknaturecenter.org. Please include your age, project interests (construction, trailwork, creative, etc), skills, and potential timeline. A second adult must be copied on all communication and be present for all meetings per Scouting policies.
Please note: Scouts must be 15 years of age or older in order to complete your project at Woodcock.
Thank you to past Scouts for their hard work and leadership!
