CAMPING

CAMPING FROM YOUR FIRST TENDERFOOT CAMPOUT to the rugged journeys you might already have taken deep into the backcountry, camping is Scouting at its best. Learn how to make yourself comfortable outdoors for a night or more, and you'll be ready for all kinds of BSA adventures.
The long, warm days of summer are perfect for campouts, but don't put away your tent and camp stove just because cold weather has arrived. Snow can turn familiar countryside into a wintry wilderness just right for overnight trips that might include snowshoeing, skiing, building igloos, and tracking animals.
Master the skills needed for camping and you'll have the knowledge to take care of yourself in the outdoors and to take care of the outdoors, too.
