World Conservation Award

The World Conservation Award provides an opportunity for Cub Scouts to “think globally” and “act locally” to preserve and improve our environment. This program is designed to make youth members aware that all nations are closely related through natural resources and that we are interdependent with our world environment.  Wolf, Bear and Webelo Scouts can complete the majority of the award requirements by attending ICNC Cub Scout workshops listed above marked WCA.  This award can be earned only once per Cub Scout. For more details, contact the Nature Center or Boy Scout office, or view a list of requirements at www.usscouts.org/advance/cubscout/worldcons.

Other opportunities for Scout groups include conservation projects such as:

• Spreading Christmas tree chips (prevents trail erosion)
• Eradication of exotic plants (like garlic mustard pulling)
• Restoring ICNC habitats
• prairie seed collection
