Troop Camping Training
Troop Camping I
This training consists of two sessions that must be completed in order to be qualified to take a troop on a camping trip for up to two nights at Camp Covington, Camp Marydale or Camp Whispering Pines. Troop Camping I sessions are grouped together to facilitate an efficient training experience, and the two sessions must be taken together in the correct order.
Troop Camping I - A (in the classroom) covers general camp preparation such as procedures, how to pack, what not to bring, etc. The training also covers meal planning and participants are assigned food/equipment to bring to the overnight portion of the training.
