The Washington
Waterfowl Association encourages the participation of youth in our
activities to help them understand the importance of habitat preservation.
Our activities include waterfowl banding, building nest boxes and tracking
waterfowl migratory routes across the country.
Our activities
include: Donating time to the Boy Scouts of America on Eagle Scout projects,
teaching youth decoy carving and painting art, donating funds for youth gun safety,
target shooting and hunter education classes, hosting youth shotgun shooting
events, working with children at the Puyallup and Evergreen Sportsman's
Shows, donating time to the seriously ill youngsters at Camp Good Times
working on decoy projects, sending boys and girls to Conservation Camp each
summer, conducting Field Days for Kids at metropolitan parks, and arranging
for youth whose parents are not hunters to join us in the field.
