Our Outdoors Challenge

While you’re away, work with other Cubs to do all of these tasks:

• help to pitch and strike your tent
• show that you know how to look after yourself and be safe at camp
• show that you know how to keep your tent and kit safe, tidy and secure
• cook a meal with your Six
• build a shelter big enough for two Cubs
• using bamboos canes, rubber bands or simple lashings complete a simple pioneering project or make a camp gadget
• learn and follow the Countryside Code
• show you know what things you need to do to look after your campsite, and that you can put them into practise
• show that you know how to treat mild burns, scalds, cuts or grazes and make a call to the emergency services.

While you’re away, do at least two of these tasks as well:

• take part in a wide game
• take part in a campfire sing-along or other entertainment
• cook a backwoods meal
• build a bivouac and sleep in it
• care for your personal equipment while at camp
• using knots that you’ve learned, make a simple camp gadget, like a flagpole.
