Survival Outing
Location: Seven Springs – just outside the group site
Camping type: Dispersed, no potable water, restrooms are a distance
Outing Plan: Meet at the church on Saturday March 23rd at 7:00 in the morning and the scouts will be back at the church around noon on Sunday March 24th.
Patrols will need to provide their own meals for Saturday breakfast and a trail lunch on Saturday. Dinner Saturday night and breakfast Sunday morning will be provided by the adults.
Scenario: Scouts will be hiking as a patrol for the day and find that they have become lost. They will have their day pack with them (a sleeping bag is optional – recommended). In the day pack they will have their 10 essentials (see your scoutbook) and will need to shelter in place for the night. Scouts will use survival skills such as building a fire, making a shelter, and purifying water. Adults/older scouts will be within sight of scouts and will intervene with different scenarios.
Cost: $25 for gas and Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast.
Points will be given and one patrol will be crowned the survival outing champions!
