Scouting America properties rely on chain saws to help clear trails, remove deadfalls, clear timber, and stockpile wood for campfires and heating buildings. To allow for this use, specific guidelines for safety have been adapted for use at all Scouting America activities. The National Camp Accreditation Program Standards, require that any person who operates a chainsaw be approved by the council designee. 

Chainsaw operators must be at least 21 years old and meet one of the following requirements: be a professional forester with current credentials and liability insurance; be a certified arborist with credentials; have written documentation of training in chain saw techniques from either (1) a state or federally recognized chainsaw training course approved by the council or (2) the Scouting America ChainSaw Basic training. 

Please bring your own chainsaw and safety gear (helmet w/ear protection, gloves, chainsaw chaps).
