The Boy Scouts of America and the Order of the Arrow have a long history of commitment to sound camping practices. This commitment involves learning how to conserve our camping areas and reducing our impact upon the land through intelligent conservation practices.
Individuals do make a difference.
There are many conservation practices which can result in reducing the impact on the land. In general, think in a low impact mentality. Try to be quiet, courteous, and thoughtful of others. Conserve for others and for the wilderness itself. Support the Outdoor Code and BSA wilderness ethics and ideals.
