This week, we’ll enjoy a Camping merit badge overview from Mr. Hartwig, and continue our exploration of camp-craft as it relates to rank advancement requirements.

The Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class ranks all have “Camping and Outdoor Ethics”, “Cooking”, and “Tools” sections, which range from knot- and rope-work to “Leave no Trace” principles.

We’ll also set a plan for those requirements that need an outdoor setting, more advanced preparation, or completion at home.

So, BRING YOUR HANDBOOKS!

SCOUTMASTER CONFERENCES and BOARDS of REVIEW will be available.
