Each year, hundreds of volunteers from across the Heart of America Council donate their time to the maintenance and up keep of the Theodore Naish and H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservations by joining the Heart of America Council Camp Maintenance Team.

On scheduled weekends throughout the year, a wide variety of projects are scheduled at both reservations, which include: painting, building repair, tent and cot repair, roofing, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, conservation, and general cleaning.

Work days at both the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation and the Theodore Naish Scout Reservations are open to all registered Scout Troops, Venturing Crews, and Scouters. Lunch will be provided to all participants at no cost, please register prior to the Wednesday before the workday for your food order.

The youth in the Heart of America Council greatly appreciate all the hard work and support you provide in order to keep both camps in good working order, thank you.
