Scouting Projects

This guide contains Instructables aimed towards helping out scouting troops, from Cub Scout Basics to High Adventure skills. As a current scout, I drew on my knowledge and past experiences of summer camp, merit badge workshops, Boundary Waters trips, Philmont, and Sea Base to select some of the most useful, interesting, money saving and fun DIY activities to help you and your scout troop.

I often use my campfire toasting fork on scout camps, it goes down well with other scouts because they get to toast more food at once!!
