Life Scout proposes orienteering course; Parks & Rec Board recommends project to supervisors
Summary
Nathan Greway, a Life Scout with Valley Forge Troop 73, proposed an 8–12 point orienteering course at Charlestown Park; the Parks & Recreation Board unanimously recommended he present the project to the Board of Supervisors for next steps.
Nathan Greway, a Life Scout from Valley Forge Troop 73, presented a proposal for an Eagle Scout project to install an orienteering course at Charlestown Park. Greway described orienteering as navigating a park using a map and compass to find a series of control points; the proposed course would contain roughly 8–12 points.
After Greway’s presentation the Parks & Recreation Board unanimously agreed the orienteering course would be a strong addition to the park and recommended he move to the next step of presenting the idea to the Board of Supervisors. The board’s approval at this meeting was a recommendation to the supervisors rather than final project authorization or permitting.
Next steps include Greway presenting the proposal to the Board of Supervisors where site approval, coordination with township staff, and any permitting or materials funding would be addressed.
