Wilderness Survival Merit Badge

Winter Wilderness Survival Camp

This year 11 young men braved the 9 degree weather to earn the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge.  It's a tough thing to do.  These rough and tough winter pioneers had to demonstrate shelter building skills, cold climate survival, and excellent fire building skills. 

Next year you may want to give this a try.  BE WARNED!!! You will need to perfected your outdoor woodsman skills that you will learn while working on your First Class Rank.  You will also need to have the right winter camping gear.  Otherwise you will end up a Popsicle. 

Want to know more, just ask your fellow scouts about it at the next Troop Meeting (January 2nd).

See you there.
