OA Trail Crew Project

The trail system of the Horseshoe Scout Reservation has served us all well for many years but it is showing its age. Many of the trails need repair and enhancement due to many decades of wear and tear from weather, erosion and scout boots.The Octoraro Lodge in conjunction with Ray Hayden (HSR Reservation Director), his ranger crew and the camping committee has launched an ambitious program to repair and enhance the current trail system; eventually blazing new “environmentally sound” trails which will enable the system to continue to serve our scouts and scouters well into the next century.To complete this herculean task we are seeking the assistance of scout units throughout Chester County, developing an award incentive program to encourage participation.
