Why volunteer at Snipes Farm?
Snipes Farm is a perfect place for scouts and youth groups to explore, learn and serve. Scouts and youth groups come to Snipes Farm to learn through helping with service projects year round. Students come to the farm to work towards completion of service hours and scouts come to work for various levels of badge requirements and scout awards (Bronze, Silver, Gold Girl Scout awards and Tenderfoot and Eagle Boy Scout awards).
