The U.S. Department of the Interior is inviting Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts to join the National Park Service on Saturday, September 27, 2008 for National Public Lands Day as they celebrate the service of Girl and Boy Scouts in the national parks.
Contact your local park to find out what projects may be avialable, or go to: http://www.nps.gov/findapark for information about any park or site in which you may be interested.
Earn a National Scout Day certificate when you’ve completed your national park project on National
Public Lands Day. You are also entitled to other awards and patches from your Girl Scout and Boy Scout organizations.
Visit http://www.publiclandsday.org/involved/ to find National Public Lands Day projects in your area.
You can see the National Scout Day flier as posted on the Boy Scouts of America National Council website.

What do we have to do to make sure they get a certificate? I can’t find that info anywhere.

I believe that if you are working at a designated site, the site coordinator will handle the certificates.
I was able to find a copy of the 2008 certificate online, if for some reason your site doesn’t have them. http://www.publiclandsday.org/pdf/NPLD2008certificate.pdf
