Continue reading October camp-inMany troops have simply failed during lockdown, stopping all operations, even as their Scouts continue to get closer to aging out. Not Troops 612 and 2612. We’re continuing to try to advance in the face of the pandemic, and we’re working on figuring out the best ways to replicate the Scouting experience, at home. That’s why we had our campout on the 18th.
Scouting is about youth leadership. In recognition of this, we now have a youth webmaster editing the site, Thomas P. He is available at webmaster@troop612slz.org.
The troop spent the day at the USS Hornet to participate in the Winter Camp Awareness (WCA) training.
At Winter Camp Awareness experienced Scouts teach classes covering the skills needed to provide any first aid that might be needed while snow camping as well as discussions concerning what to pack. The first aid class will cover details about diagnosing cold related illnesses and how to treat and prevent them in addition to covering other common first aid issues. Other classes will cover what type of snow camping equipment is needed on a group and an individual level, including things needed to sleep warm at night, necessary clothing to stay warm and dry during the day, types of stoves and fuel that work well in the snow and at high altitudes, and how to build snow shelters as well as choosing a snow shelter that works best for the conditions in which you find yourself
