Orienteering Meets
Westmoreland Sanctuary partners with Hudson Valley Orienteering twice a year for an orienteering meet in the fall and the spring. Orienteering combines the terrain of the great outdoors with the thrill of a scavenger hunt. It is popular amongst scouts of all ages and can help troops meet badge requirements.
Our next orienteering meet is scheduled for October 22nd.
Eagle Scouts
Westmoreland Sanctuary works with Eagle Scout candidates, but we are not certified to be Eagle Scout Mentors.
We offer a variety of outdoor projects that benefit the community and help conserve the environment for Eagle Scouts. Contact Steve Ricker via email at [email protected] for more information.
