Forestry Troop Program Feature

A prominent government official once said that we couldn't afford to gain the vastness of space and lose the earth in the process. The implications of this statement point to the ever-increasing importance of preserving the earth's natural resources in the space age.

Satellites, jet planes, and nuclear energy all assume a greater importance each day. But the human energy that produces and operates these machines is still dependent upon the soil of the earth for food. The machines themselves can be produced only with the help of vast supplies of clean water - water that comes in part from well-managed forest watersheds.

Every Scout should know the importance of all natural resources and of the interdependence of forest, range, soil, water, and wildlife.
