"The guiding light of the Hornaday Award Weekend is drawn from a foundational vision of Scouting’s founder Baden Powell. His belief that protecting and managing the world’s natural resources was the core to the universal language of the Scouting movement. Our task is simply to fan the flames of his guiding light that was lit on Brownsea Island one hundred years ago."

"I got involved with the Hornaday Award Weekend for one reason: To improve the leadership abilities and environmental awareness of young men through hands on achievement. The Hornaday program brings together the very best of Scouting's community service with its conservation programs. I am hopeful that this movement will create so many lasting environmental projects so as to rival that done by conservation and naturalist groups worldwide."
Our Vision Statement
The Hornaday Award Weekend vision is creating a program that empowers any Scout who wants to protect and manage our natural resources the opportunity through earning the prestigious BSA Hornaday Award.
