Furthermore, such a broad focus makes The Council Guide more than just another patch identification guide – The Council Guide is also a resource for individuals wishing to record and learn about the history of Scouting through its memorabilia. ORGANIZATION Since The Council Guide includes a wide variety of issues, made in different shapes and sizes and for different purposes, it can be difficult to catalog these issues in a consistent way.

Guide to Council Camps National Parks California
GUIDE TO COUNCIL CAMPS NATIONAL PARKS CALIFORNIA PARKS ORANGE COUNTY PARKS SAN BERNARDINO PARKS 1 A Few Basics. As all American, I will do my best to . Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate ill the outdoors, and Be conservation minded. -The Outdoor Code, The Boy Scout Handbook, 1993 Edition, Page 55 The Outdoor Code is perhaps the most well-known and shortest statement of BSA outdoor policy. It can be expanded into six points that cover how your unit can have a 'low-impact' on your weekend car camping and backpacking outings: Pretrip Plans Wear Scout uniforms or other clothes that will blend into the surroundings. When picking camping equipment, such as tents, try to abide by the same rule. Pack food in containers that you'll carry home at the end of a trip. Take along (and use) trash bags. Plan to have 12 or fewer people staying in an individual campsite. Pick areas that are suited to the type of activity that you are planning. Using Trails Stay on the trail. Don't cut across switchbacks. Campsites Choose sites free of fragile plants. Camp out of sight of trails, streams, and lakes. Don't dig trenches around your tents or make any other unneeded holes. Fires Build fires only where appropriate and allowed. Try to get by with just propane stoves. Use existing fire rings instead of making new ones. Bring your own wood supply with you whenever possible. Open gathering may be prohibited. If you gather firewood, make sure you only burn small wood gathered from the ground.
