Join us for Camp Conservation Day & Help Make a Difference!
Two Sessions on Nov. 7th!
Only through continued service can we ensure that the beautiful and natural areas of the Dan Beard Scout Reservation are preserved for future youth. Camp Conservation Day, held on Saturday, November 7th from 9am-4pm, is a great way for Scouts to earn service hours while working to conserve our camp properties. This exciting day of organized projects include tree-planting, erosion control, honeysuckle removal, trail maintenance, and other conservation projects.
Extra safety precautions will be in effect:
- Two sessions (Morning & Afternoon) have been created to ensure safe social distancing
- All groups will be split into no more than 10 people.
- Temperature checks will be taken upon arrival & masks will be worn.

It's Not Too Late to Earn Funds with Popcorn!
Tons of units are already benefiting from online popcorn sales that have Dan Beard Council units ranked #7 in total popcorn online sales in the nation!
Did you know that all of the popcorn products are available online this year at the traditional in person price? We've even extended this year's sale, so it's not too late to get in the action and raise some funds for your unit. Plus, we now have new Holiday popcorn. A perfect way to add some quick and easy units funds at the end of the year. You can still sell and it's as easy as setting up an account online and sharing it out.
