Summary

Commissioners and volunteers discussed recruiting scouts for both short work days (ditch clearing, trail maintenance) and larger Eagle‑project scope work (an accessible path to a shelter); members agreed to compile project lists and schedule volunteer dates.

Resident (S8) and Committee member (S7) outlined two categories of scout engagement: short community service days for tasks such as clearing ditches, and larger projects suitable for Eagle Scout projects like creating an accessible path from a parking area to a shelter. Commissioners urged organizers to provide a project list that the commission can circulate to scouts and parents.

Committee member (S7) said work‑day logistics should include clear scoping and scheduling: "So there's, as I said, sort of 2 parts... 1 is lower level putting in a few hours community service, but then there's the bigger Eagle Scout list... I can send that to you." The commission agreed to plan at least one fall work day and to add project items to the next meeting's project list for prioritization.
