Scoutcraft
| The real Scouting skills that make each boy proud to
be an outdoorsman are offered in one of the finest Scoutcraft Areas
in any Scout Camp. The art of rope work, camping, cooking, hiking
and survival can be one of the most memorable experiences at Aquehonga.
The area provides a complete environment to gain these desired skills
for the new Scout as well as the experienced Scout. |

Pioneering Projects |
|
Every Scout has the urge to build something with
his own hands, see a design take form before his eyes, and see a
finished product that is, in effect, a monument to his own ability.
The Scoutcraft Director can supply your unit with several ideas
on projects. Allow at least two activity periods and pick a project
keeping in mind your boypower limitations. Before attempting a project,
a class in knots and lashings may prove useful.
