The Hornaday Award is the foremost conservation award in the Scouting program. Six Scouts and four volunteers have been recognized with a Hornaday Badge in the Flint River Council since 2010. Units also have an opportunity to earn a recognition for conservation service.

If a Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Venturer is interested in the Hornaday Award program, the following steps should be taken PRIOR to beginning with any work outside of the Merit Badge requirements:

1. Read all information regarding the requirements and expectations on the National BSA Hornaday webpage.
    
2. Contact the Council Conservation Committee, Keith Larson at 678-525-7713 or keith_larson@bellsouth.net

The weekends at Lawhorn Scouting Base are hopping with activities. Lawhorn is one of the few Scout camps open with full programming year round for your unit! We have activities that vary from canoeing to geocaching and from treks in the Pine Mountain Back Country to shooting sports.
