Long-term camping is important to a Scout’s growth and advancement. It delivers on the promise of Scouting that we make. Ensuring your Scouts have an opportunity for long-term camping each year is one of our most important roles. “Camping is one of the best-known methods of the Scouting movement. When he founded the Scouting movement in the early 1900s, Robert Baden-Powell encouraged every Scout to learn the art of living out-of-doors. He believed a young person able to take care of himself while camping would have the confidence to meet life's other challenges, too.” – BSA, Camping Merit Badge Requirements Intro.
