Duty to God
While at Northern Tier, you will encounter divine handiwork on many occasions. The Duty to God program will help you reflect on these special moments.The Duty to God award is available to scouts and adults who participate in at least one daily devotional while at Northern Tier and lead grace before one meal while on trail. Upon completion of the following items, the Chaplain’s Aide must turn in the form to the Bay Post to verify completion of the award.
Lake Monitoring
Our Lake Monitoring Program provides your crew with an experience to learn about the water quality in the lakes of Northern Minnesota and Northwestern Ontario and how it changes. It also provides a community service opportunity for your Scouts as the data collected is used by government agencies and scholars to monitor water clarity and provide an assessment of suspended material in the water (often algae). Long term monitoring provides scientists with valuable data to detect trends in water quality and detect signs of degradation to a lake.
