By using Leave No Trace principles, visitors will learn how to use those skills to make minimal impact on their environment, plan an eco trek that has a purpose, practice your skills on the trek, make a difference while on their journey and then make a difference after the event.

This event fulfills most of the requirements for the Cadette Girl Scout Eco Trekker Badge, but scouts of all ages are able to attend.
