The Ini-To Lodge of the Order of the Arrow established for 2010 a long range
goal of providing continuing service to the Flint River Council and the Council
Camps. The Lodge would
lead volunteers to buildhiking
trails
on
the Pine Mountain Backcountry (PMBC) property. This initial vision was
expanded based on input from Scouters and staff to
"Create
a sustainable outdoor recreation environment in the Pine Mountain Backcountry
for Flint River Council high adventure programs through strategic planning and
action."T
The Ini-To Lodge received a matching
2011 National OA Service
Project Grant
to support building several low impact campsites and continue to
improve access. You can read our final report
