Getting ready
Do at home
Requirement 6*. This can't be done at camp. The Scout finishes it with a merit badge counselor in your council, before or after camp. Camp records everything the Scout completes here.
* May not be possible to complete this summer.
Read the Wilderness Survival merit badge requirements on scouting.org.
