If you are interested in doing a Scout Project with the River Park, contact Ranger Felipe Franco at felipe@sdrp.org to discuss your project. After you choose your project and make sure that it is still available, fill out the Scout Project Application (PDF opens in new window) and get approval from your Scout Counselor. All our projects provide a real lasting benefit to the community and a solid learning experience for the scout.
