CAMPING

The Outdoor Code reminds Scouts of the imoortance of caring for the environment. The code's ideals have special meaning whenever you are camping, hiking, and taking part in other outdoor events.
Being clean in your outdoor manners, careful with fire, and considerate means you can enjoy the outdoors to the fullest, but in ways that do the environment no harm. This handbook and your scout leaders will help you learn how.
Being conservation minded encourages the protection and the thoughtful use of natural resources. You can also roll up your sleeves and do your part in service projects that improve the condition of wildlife, water, air, forests, and the land itself. The wisdom you gain about the outdoors through your Scouting experiences can direct your actions wherever you are, whatever you do, and at every stage of your life. Your commitment to the Outdoor Code and your efforts to leave no trace will make a positive difference in the quality of the environment today and for generations to come. Read carefully the "Principles of Leave No Trace" at the end chapter so you can do your part in protecting our Earth. of this
