POTENTIAL CONTACTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION & PROJECTS**
These contacts are provided to assist Scouts and Hornaday Advisors in identifying service opportunities in the Houston area. They are not a guarantee that every contact will have
projects available. Making calls and identifying a viable project of interest to the Scout/Venturer should be part of the learning process (under the advisors guidance).
While every attempt has been made to keep this list up to date, we realize that jobs changes regularly. Please let us know if any of these contacts have changed so that we may update the list.
Also not all service opportunities available from these organizations will satisfy the Hornaday requirement so it is important to work closely with your advisor.
