Troop 17 will go on multiple weekend camping trips during
the year. These will generally be
identified as Patrol camping by unit leaders. These trips are normally primitive camping where
the location is accessed by vehicle but there are no amenities at the site. Troop 17 has a trailer with most of the supplies needed for Scouts to participate in Patrol Camping and makes sure that these activities are accessible to all Scouts who wish to participate.
While the Troop will be out camping together, the patrol
method is fundamental to these camping trips. Scouts work with their patrols to shop for food and supplies needed to camp, cook their own meals, work on Scouting activities as a patrol, and tent in
their patrol area. Through this Scouts
get to enjoy the fun of camping while practicing the leadership and teamwork
skills which come through the Patrol Method.
