FIRST CLASS SCOUT

READY FOR LOTS MORE HIKING AND CAMPING?

Want to cook outdoors, practice first aid, identify native plants, and lash together rustic structures? All of that and more await you on the trail to First Class. Becoming a First Class Scout also prepares you to be more of a leader in your patrol, your troop, and your community. People will expect more of you, and you will expect more of yourself. More time in the outdoors, more responsibilities, more knowledge of Scouting's skills-that's what becoming a First Class Scout is all about. A good place to begin is by getting out a map and compass and increasing your knowledge of how to find your way.

The First Class badge pins together the Tenderioot and the Second Class badges. When you have earned the right to wear it, you will have completed the training you need to take part in most of Scouting's activities and adventures.
