"Our duty to the whole, including
the unborn generations, bids us restrain an unprincipled present-day
minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The
movement for the conservation of wild life and the larger movement
for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially
democratic in spirit, purpose, and method."
Theodore Roosevelt,1916 |

Theodore Roosevelt, our first Council
Commissioner, established over 150 national parks and more that 50
preserves during his presidency, resulting in the preservation of
more than 230 million acres of "forever wild". From its
founding in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America have used conservation
to teach America's youth about responsibility, legacy, and
leadership. The links on this page will connect to pages describing conservation
and nature activities that units and individuals can incorporate
into their program. |
