What is it' Mark your calendar now for the Chinquapin District World Conservation Award! World Conservation Award will be held September 11-13, 2015 at Camp Barstow. Scouts have the opportunity to camp outdoors and earn World  Conservation Award. These include many of the merit badges required for Eagle. A volunteer camp staff provides program help, guidance, and supervision Scouts also benefit by association with Scouts from other troops, making new friends, learning new methods, sharing ideas, and enjoying the fellowship.
