Types of Camping

A unit can plan a variety of camping events, such as:

Backpacking
Car Camping (just the unit)
Camporee/Jamboree
Cabin Camping
Summer Camp
Cold Weather Camping

Camping gets you outdoors, helps you to appreciate nature, and provides a setting in which a group of Scouts can work as a patrol. Some events, particularly backpacking, additionally promote personal fitness as well.

Many activities can be combined with a camping trip. Here are just a few:

Advancement
Bicycling
Canoeing
Cooking
Deep sea fishing
Games
Hiking
Horseback riding
Mountain biking
White water rafting

Get your Patrol Leaders Council together and see what adventures your Scouts are interested in.
