| Mission and General Plan To Foster, Plan and Maintain a natural urban forest/vegetation environment area within easy reach of the 132nd Scouts and Cubs. This is so that they will be able to participate in and obverse over an extended period of time the value of properly maintained forest vegetation environment.
Brief History:
The Stewardship One Project was started as a World Conservation project for the Tiger Patrol who were on a quest to achieve their Chief Scout's Award back in 1999. This was achieved and they were very successfully in the first year.
The intent of the Stewardship One Project built on many discussions that had come up at our group committee and among the scout leaders. These leaders presented the idea of a "Seton Wood". The simple idea was that the scouts, as they moved through the sections, would more deeply appreciate their efforts if they could see a greater degree of success over an extended period of time.
These discussions voiced the concern that prior similar projects were too narrow in focus and were often frustrating to the participants in terms of really solving a long-term problem. The Tiger Patrol laid out several issues that they wanted to address in the project.
