Scout Award Service Projects

Prince William Forest Park is a great place to complete scouting service project requirements. The projects listed below are suitable for youth pursuing either the BSA Eagle Scout award or Girl Scouts Gold Award. The park and the youth involved gain many benefits from scouting award service projects. Many scouting families return to the park through the years to take pride in their own scout's work.



In the process outlined below, the park, the scout, and the scouting leadership team track and monitor each step of the project. The scout will gain valuable experience and leadership skills during the project. The park staff monitor the project for compliance and resource protection.

How to seek approval for a scout award service project:

All scout award candidates interested in projects at the park must contact the park volunteer coordinator, telephone 703-221-2847 or email them.


The park staff define projects and complete the compliance process. The scout must still write a project proposal then make arrangements for a meeting with staff. The scout meets with the park superintendent, the volunteer coordinator, and the park's designated project supervisor. They discuss how the project will be completed.The scout's proposal must be approved before any work may begin.

Currently, there are no approved projects for the 2025 year. When approved projects become available, we will list them here.

Park staff look forward to being part of scout service projects. The scout's legacy of public service may stand for years to come!
