ArrowCorps5 - LAST CALL
December 09, 2007 12:42 PM
Deadline
for ArrowCorps5 registration is
December 31, 2007.
As of the December 2nd Lodge meeting, we have 16
Arrowmen from our Lodge registered.
One thousand Arrowmen will descend upon Jackson, Wyoming for one week, beginning July 26, 2008, as the Order of the Arrow undertakes its largest service opportunity in Scouting history: ArrowCorps5.
ArrowCorps5 is a once in a lifetime program. The event is the largest volunteer service effort ever undertaken by the Boy Scouts of America. A Scout’s duty to country calls us all to help preserve the beauty of treasures like national forests.

Though
there are five sites available for attendance, our
council has chosen to send a contingent to
Bridger-Teton National Forest. The U.S. Forest
Service has set aside some of the highest priority
projects in the most beautiful landscapes in
America. If you are unable to attend with the
contingent, the opportunity exists to go to one of
the other four locations, including going with a
smaller Pittsburgh contingent to the Virginia site.
Located in western Wyoming adjacent to the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, the Bridger-Teton is one of the largest forests in the United States covering 3.4 million acres. Participants will construct mountain bike and hiking trails, remove fencing to allow unrestricted movement of wildlife, and help control fire through a fuels reduction project where the forest and urban areas meet.
The project will provide a much larger area and open range for wildlife, such as elk, moose, antelope, mule deer, bear, and wolf. The open range is especially important for these animals during the winter months when food is scarce. In addition, the larger available area will improve breeding, birthing, grazing, and it will reduce the transmission of disease. Clearly, this meaningful project will benefit many native flora and fauna for years to come.
Join our council contingent as we rededicate ourselves to the tenants of the Order: cheerful service. For more information, please contact our Contingent Coordinator: Dave Milligan email.
