Take

Leave
No Trace
Boy Scout Camporee
| |
This
camporee was held at Camp Red Wing near
Muncie, Indiana. The event was organized by the Golden Eagle District of the Crossroads of America Council
of the Boy Scouts of America to provide a
Leave No Trace
learning experience for the district’s youth and adults. David Largent (LNT
Trainer) conceived and developed the camporee and implemented it with
the help of 6 key volunteers. 225 youth and adults attended the
weekend event. Patrols rotated through a series of 12 stations,
first being taught the LNT principles, and then being “tested”.
The Saturday night campfire program used two small fires: one on a
temporary dirt mound the youth built, and the other on a raised fire
pan. Both were removed Sunday morning.
