BLMers Giving Back: Two BLMers Help Local Boy Scout Troop Get Outside Elliott Hinkley, Law Enforcement Ranger, and Tim Barrett, Petroleum Engineering Technician - both from the BLM Colorado River Valley Field Office - volunteered their time last summer to mentor a local Boy Scout troop at a week-long summer camp. The camp was a new experience for the young troop; they had never been on a week-long camping trip where they cooked and cleaned for themselves. It took them a couple of days at camp to “buy in” to the program. But then, they started enjoying the activities, the work, and the overall experience. By the end of the week, they were already asking if they could come back next year! The four Scouts earned a total of 27 merit badges by the end of the camp. Merit badges earned included archery, camping, environmental science, wilderness survival, rifle shooting, canoeing and kayaking, among others. The Scouts also participated in activities like the Cat-Eye trail, orienteering courses completed at night. Elliott’s skills, expertise, and experience as a ranger were a big motivation for the Scouts to engage and work hard, even while seeing Scouts from other troops relaxing and taking it easy. The Scouts were able to learn wilderness skills and gain a passion for science and environmental topics that they can carry with them far into the future, maybe even into land management careers of their own! The scouts wouldn’t have been able to complete the camp without the encouragement and help from Elliott and Tim. Great job, BLMers. |
