Activity Notes

As this course accommodates Scouts indoors, it does not offer opportunities to demonstrate practical camping skills, this longer session is designed to cover the basics and improve confidence in Patrol Camping. The components of this session are the same as for a non-residential course, however, in recognition of the Scout's participation in an overnight stay, some of the content can be reduced. This is on the understanding that the Scouts are already demonstrating an understanding of personal and environment hygiene and safety in their residential experience. The remaining sessions are just as relevant and the presenter should consider whether the session should be shortened or not.
