Service Projects - St. Johns River Base
I will be posting service projects for scouts, scouts units and school service hours. Not only will this count towards service hours, but I plan to make it a learning lesson for some practical skills.
I will be updating this list once a month. If you or your unit has a project they want to improve camp please present it to me to get it approved.
Service Projects
- Brush and vine control, this would be a conservation project. Cut vines growing in trees and plants. Cut vine at ground and off tree. Remove brush growing around base of trees in open areas
- Clear and open creek channel
- Clear fence along Doctor’s Lake Drive
- We still have some brush piles of brush that need to be moved and burned
- Cut any low hanging limbs in common areas
