BOY
SCOUTS, GIRL SCOUTS, ROTARY AND OTHER COMMUNITY
GROUPS OFTEN WORK ON TRAILBUILDING PROJECTS
Building the Cumberland
Trail is a grassroots effort, driven by the
communities along the trail and hikers from all over
the US, in partnership with the State of Tennessee. This very successful private/public partnership is a
model often cited to demonstrate the power of
volunteerism. Volunteering brings benefits to both
society at large and the individual volunteer. The
dedicated efforts of Cumberland Trail volunteers are
responsible for completing over 165 miles of trail
so far.
The Cumberland Trail
Conference has established an extensive
infrastructure of programs and trail training
workshops in order to bring a wide range of
organizations and individuals into our volunteer
ranks. Please contact us at
cumberlandtrail@rocketmail.com if you or your
organization are interested in participating in
building the Cumberland Trail. Programs need more
than trail building muscle. We need cooks, bridge builders, sign makers, organizers,
photographers, educators, mapmakers, etc. We need
donations of food, building materials, tools,
equipment, and money. Volunteers make it happen!
Working toward the Girl Scout Gold Award
brought family and friends to work on the trail.
All received Cumberland Trail tee shirts.
Boy Scouts construct trail signs
