Troops 1833 and Troop 833-Weekend Activity for March 12th - 13th, 2021

Local campout and hike-  We'll be doing a tin foil dinner so bring your mess kit and fork.    Have part A and B filled out and brought with you of the physical form.  https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/healthsafety/pdf/680-001_abc.pdf and the consent form filled out.  https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/19-673.pdf

So the plan is to have a campfire and dinner on the 12th at my house at 2402 Bert Drive in North Myrtle Beach in the backyard starting at 7pm. Start hiking at 9:45 am at 2402 Bert Drive North Myrtle Beach.  There will be a pre - hike at 9 am where we will pass off some requirements. We'll hike for 4.8 miles and end up at Basil's pizza in North Myrtle Beach.  We'll have lunch there at noon so bring some money for lunch or a sack lunch.  We need a male and a female to walk or drive behind the scouts.  This is a training camp to prepare for bigger activities.  

Here are some of the requirements that are possible that you can pass off if you are a scout.

1. Explain the importance of the buddy system as it relates to your personal safety on outings and in your neighborhood. Use the buddy system while on a troop or patrol outing.
2. Describe what to do if you become lost on a hike or campout.
3. Explain the rules of safe hiking, both on the highway and cross-country, during the day and at night.
4. At an approved outdoor location and time, use the tinder, kindling, and fuel wood from Second Class requirement 2b to demonstrate how to build a fire. Unless prohibited by local fire restrictions, light the fire. After allowing the flames to burn safely for at least two minutes, safely extinguish the flames with minimal impact to the fire site.
5. Identify or show evidence of at least 10 kinds of wild animals (such as birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, or mollusks) found in your local area or camping location. You may show evidence by tracks, signs, or photographs you have taken.

1. Describe some hazards or injuries that you might encounter on your hike and what you can do to help prevent them.
2. Demonstrate how to find directions during the day and at night without using a compass or an electronic device.
