OUTDOOR PROGRAMS
A strong
outdoor program is vital to the health of every Scout troop.
Outdoors is a classroom without walls and is ideal for teaching
Scout skills. Scouts who share the same trail, cook and eat
together learn the value of teamwork, learn patience, respect
opinions of others, and develop lasting relationships. On the
trail and in camp, boy leaders face real leadership challenges.
Outdoors is where the adventure begins.
At a
minimum, Scouts should be spending at least ten days and nights
outdoors each year via:
–
Troop and Patrol hikes
–
Resident Camping
–
Short-term camping
–
Camporee and Jamborees
–
National and Council

–
