Bashore Scout Reservation is 406 acres and has approximately 10 miles of hiking trails and 10 campsites. J.E. Mack Scout Reservation is 1100 acres and has 25 miles of hiking / biking trails and 9 campsites. Each camp has a full-time Ranger to maintain and care for the buildings and grounds. With thousands of people utilizing the camps each year, it’s nearly impossible for the Rangers to keep up with all of the wear-and-tear that occurs in the most-used areas. How does it work? Your unit commits to adopting a trail or campsite at Camp Bashore or Camp Mack, which means providing at least 1-2 service days (minimum 8 hours) of work per year to improve and maintain it. The Camp Ranger will help coordinate and communicate the work that is needed, and provide any necessary tools and materials. After your first successful project is completed, your unit will receive an adoption certificate, along with appropriate signage designating the trail or site is being maintained by your unit, The “Adoption” will remain in effect as long as your unit performs its yearly maintenance project. (Larger trails and campsites may have multiple units adopting them.) Your Unit Benefits By: Generating service hours towards advancement. Instilling the values of stewardship and conservation in youth. Creating a sense of “Pride in Ownership”. Scouts will take better care of something they help build or maintain. Free weekend of tent camping (or that value credited towards rental of a lodge), The Ranger will issue a certificate upon successful completion of a work day. Only one certificate may be earned per calendar year. Adopt-A-Trail & Adopt-A-Site Program Some of the most common items the trails and campsites need are: Clean-up of storm damage– limbs & trees. Repairing erosion on trails and pathways. Install erosion bars. Clearing overgrown brush and vegetation. Picking up litter and trash. Maintaining trail markers– new signs or painting blazes. Additionally, in campsites there is a need for: Cleaning out campfire rings. Staining / Waterproofing Picnic Tables and Benches. Repairs to Tent Platforms and other items in the campsite. Any necessary tools and materials will be provided by the Camp Ranger All projects must be pre-approved by the Camp Ranger and coordinated with the Unit Contact Person before starting. PA Dutch Council, BSA Please fill out this application and submit to either a Camp Ranger, Campmaster, or the PA Dutch Council office. Program Terms & Conditions: Adoption of a campsite or trail at Bashore Scout Reservation or J Edward Mack Scout Reservation does not imply any form of ownership or special privilege other than the free weekend of camping, recognition signage and adoption certificate as described in this brochure. All projects must be pre-approved and work days coordinated with the Camp Ranger where the site or trail is located. The Camp Rangers work within a maintenance budget and need to plan and approve any expenses. All BSA safety rules and standards must be adhered to, as well as any camp-related rules. Chainsaws and other power tools may only be operated by properly trained and authorized adults. Units may not construct or post any additional signage or structures or lay claim to “ownership” of their adopted site or trail. Adoptions automatically renew yearly and remain in effect as long as the unit provides the minimum amount of service hours per year. The unit agrees to notify the Camp Ranger of any changes in leadership or contact information. If a unit fails to complete the minimum number of hours required for “adoption” or ceases to provide maintenance as agreed, the Camp Ranger may reassign that trail or campsite to another unit. Certificates for “Free Tent Camping” will be issued after successful completion of the service project. Certificates will be valid for one calendar year, Certificates will have no cash value, but may be used as credit (the current value of a tent site fee) towards rental of a lodge or other facility in the camp where service was performed.
