CUB SCOUT LEAVE NO TRACE AWARD
As more people use parks and recreation facilities, LEAVE NO TRACE® guidelines become even more important for outdoor visitors.
Leave No Trace is a plan that helps people to be more concerned about their environment and to help them protect it for future generations. Leave No Trace applies in a backyard or local park (frontcountry) as much as it does in the wilderness (backcountry).  For more information…..

Leave No Trace Awareness Award for Boy Scouts & Venturers

Leaving no trace is everyone's responsibility.  For more information…..
