Introduction
The idea of the Avon Scouts Camping Award Scheme is to empower young people to spend at least one night per month out of their beds and engaged in some form of camping activity. This does not need to be as part of an organised event it could be sleeping in your garden when the temperature goes below zero degrees or it could be sleeping with your patrol at Avon County campsite or with another Scout in the tree house at the bottom of the garden.
Rules of the Camping Award
Scouting is a movement build around trust so validation of the completion of a section will be the record card shown below.
The Camping Award scheme is open to all members of the Scout, Explorer Scout and Scout Network sections and adult members. A Record card should be completed with the date of the camp and countersigned (using initials) by a Leader/Parent or camping companion. The completed card should be returned to Woodhouse Park Activity Centre who will arrange for the relevant award to be made.
