Help us plant a Centennial Forest at Gamehaven Scout Reservation


BSA has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to sell trees as part of
the 2010 Generations Connection. For every tree that is purchased another
will be planted in the Flathead National Forest (near Kalispell, MT) to restore an area damaged by fire. Two trees for the price of one!


Through this program, Gamehaven Council has organized a Centennial Forest project for Gamehaven Scout Reservation (GSR). You are invited to help build our Centennial Forest by purchasing a tree. Legacy Sugar Maples will be planted at GSR. The trees will be a nice addition to the camp, and eventually, we will be able to tap the trees and make maple syrup. The new trees will be 2 to 4 feet tall and we plan to have a planting ceremony on Saturday, May 1, 2010. The Centennial Forest will be marked with a commemorative plaque recognizing the contributions of all those who purchased and planted the trees.


Purchasing a tree in honor of someone makes a wonderful gift. Certificates indicating trees have been purchased “in honor of “ are available from the Gamehaven Council office upon request. Please fill out the form located here and include payment for the number of trees you are contributing to the GSR Centennial Forest. We will place a group order for the forest so that all of the trees arrive on time for the planting ceremony.
