Governor Crist Announces New Serve to Preserve Scout Award

The newly developed program allows scout troops to earn an award insignia by completing educational activities about Florida’s natural environment. Age-specific requirements for the Serve to Preserve Scout Award were developed in partnership with leaders from the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts in Florida.

Serve to Preserve, in cooperation with the Governor’s Volunteer Florida Foundation and Commission, will create partnerships with environmental groups to assist in engaging volunteers in environmental conservation, restoration and protection projects throughout the state. The program will catalogue environmental needs throughout Florida that can be addressed through volunteerism and will promote environmental action.
