Spirit of Adventure Camping Award
This summer, to mark the beginning of a new era of scouting adventure, units will
have the opportunity to earn the all-new Spirit of Adventure Camping Award!
Multi-tiered and comprising a number of different components, this award will be
offered on the individual, patrol, and troop levels, giving scouts the chance to challenge themselves not only individually but also as a team, working together to obtain
the never before seen Spirit of Adventure Troop Award! Scouts will receive patches
and awards as they progress through the various levels. Additionally, scouts and
troops will receive a tracking sheet at the beginning of the week to keep track of their
progress as they work their way through camp, challenge-to-challenge!
