Stewardship Credit

This badge represents successful completion of one six-hour day of stewardship through The Mountaineers or an outside organization.

description of skills

Each year, nearly 500 students volunteer on public lands during one of a dozen of our courses with stewardship requirements, contributing over 3,600 hours of volunteer labor on state and federal lands and waterways in Washington State. Students participate in restoration activities, trail work, or historic lookout maintenance with The Mountaineers or another local stewardship organization. Most courses require a full six-hour day of volunteerism to fulfill the stewardship requirement.

what does this badge allow me to do?

The Stewardship Credit badge may be applied towards the stewardship requirement of many of our courses. Check with the volunteer responsible for your course's graduation requirements about submitting your stewardship work for approval.

You may receive the Stewardship Credit badge by participating in any of our full-day (six-hour) stewardship activities, multiple half-day activities within a year, or through a full-day (six-hours) of trail work with The Mountaineers or an outside organization.
