Draft: may still change
Camping is one of the best-known methods of the Scouting movement. Robert Baden-Powell encouraged every Scout to learn the art of living outdoors, believing that a young person who can take care of themselves while camping will have the confidence to meet life’s other challenges, too.

Getting ready
Do at home
Requirements 4b, 5d, 7b, 8d, 9. These can't be done at camp. The Scout finishes them with a merit badge counselor in your council, before or after camp. Camp records everything the Scout completes here.
Read the Camping merit badge requirements on scouting.org.
Signing up
Your unit leader registers each Scout for classes in MyCouncil when your week's registration opens in late April. Classes fill up, so list a second and third choice for each session.
