To go camping, you need skills that will help you feel at home in the outdoors. When you earn the Outdoorsman activity badge, you'll learn about building campfires, cooking, setting up tents, making outdoor beds, tying knots, and many other skills. You'll have a chance to use your new camping skills with a friend, your family, or your Webelos den. You may visit a Boy Scout troop activity to learn how Boy Scouts use their outdoor skills. The outdoors is calling you. Have fun! |
| Do Five of These: |
1. Show your ability to tie the following knots:
|
| 2. Pitch a tent using two half hitches and a taut-line hitch. Make a ground bed. Sleep in your tent for at least one night, if your parent allows you to do this. |
| 3. With your adult partner, take part in a Webelos overnighter or camp overnight with a Boy Scout troop. |
| 4. Help with a two-night campout away from home with your family. Or go on two one-night campouts with your family. |
| 5. With your family or Webelos den, plan and take part in an evening outdoor activity that includes a campfire. |
| 6. Help cook your own lunch or supper outdoors with a parent or another adult. Clean up afterwards. |
| 7. Know and practice the rules of outdoor fire safety. |
| 8. Visit a nearby Boy Scout camp with your den. |
| When you pass each requirement, ask your den leader or counselor to initial your Outdoorsman scoreboard. |
