hiking
Hiking is a great way to experience the great outdoors and camp at the same time. All you need is a backpack of some sort, a few basic supplies, and a place to hike, and you’re set to go! You can spend time with your family, friends and fellow Scouts. Best of all, you can experience something new and learn many things.
camping
Picture this: sitting around a campfire, roasting marshmallows and hanging out with your friends. If you have experienced it before, then you know that camping is one of the best ways to have fun in Scouts. You get to cook your own food, set up your own tent, learn new things, and spend lots of quality time with your friends.

So, what if you don’t have enough time to take a long camping trip? No problem. You can take a day trip. All you do is take along some water and food and get hiking. You can still experience nature while not missing much back home. These trips are great for younger Scouts who can’t quite handle a full fledged camping trip yet.
