Preparing Your Family Print

How can you help your son or daughter get ready for an SCA Conservation Crew experience?

Speak with them openly about...
  • Taking responsibility for being away from home for an extended period of time.
  • Commiting to SCA conduct standards*.
  • Hard physical work & their motivation to become an SCA volunteer.
  • What to pack. Make certain your child arrives prepared.
Encourage them to...
  • Take a hike or walk with 20-30 lbs in their backpacks.
  • Break in their new boots!
  • Practice drinking lots of water.
  • Read about conservation, volunteerism & our National Parks.

*Violating SCA’s conduct standards is grounds for dismissal. Some of the conduct standards include abstaining from sexual activity, illicit drugs, alcohol and tobacco while on the Crew.
