On July 10th I leave for Mt. Shasta to work as a squad leader on the Shasta-Trinity ArrowCorps5 service project. Since every time I tell someone about the project and they have no idea what it is, I’ve attached a press release from the BSA national office about the project.

According to Sharon Haywood, Forest Supervisor, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, the 1,000 Order of the Arrow volunteers will be performing volunteer service which she values at around $400,000. This service will mainly be in the form of the restoration of over 150 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail which passes through the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

You can read more about the details of ArrowCorps5 in the press release, but overall at all 5 national forest sites the 5,000 volunteers will be performing an estimated $5 million in service (according to the USFS).
