TICKET 2 | ||||
| The goal of Ticket 2 is teach two camping basics courses for Scout parents, especially for those new to Scouting, and to give a similar presentation at a Roundtable program. | ||||
Camping Tutorials | ||||
 |
These tutorials are intended to explain the character-building benefits of camping, and provide some basic information about what kinds of equipment are appropriate for Cub Scouts, older boys, and adults. The first of these tutorials occurred at a Fall Pack meeting—the first Pack meeting for many new Cub Scouts and their parents. While the boys were out participating in some other activities, the parents remained behind for a discussion about tents, back packs, sleeping bags, hiking boots, and a variety of other camping gear items. | |||

The second tutorial occurred at our Pack's annual Spring Campout. This tutorial was done in conjunction with another Scout leader who was also working on a similar Wood Badge Ticket. His talk covered tailgate camping, while my talk was focused more on high-adventure backpacking and light-weight gear. My final tutorial occurred at a Thunderbird District Round Table that counted camping as one of many topics covered that night (see advertisement below). Participants were divided into four groups, each of which received about a 20 minute discussion by me about all manner of camping gear. | ||||
