4. Know what to do to overcome fear when lost. Know at least four ways to signal for help if lost in the wilderness.

Most people are overcome by fear when they are in a situation and they do not know what to do. If you know what to do ahead of time, you can concentrate on doing it rather than on your fear. Here are a few things that you could do when lost:

5. Know at least four secular activities and four Sabbath activities to use in an out­door setting if you have a rainy day.

6. Do the following in an outdoor setting:

a. Plan, organize, and do the teaching of one nature honor to a group of youth.

Ideally, the nature honor you teach should draw an the resources available in the chosen outdoor setting. For this reason, you may need to visit the campsite to see what kinds of flora and fauna are available for a nature study ahead of time. While some nature honors are not dependent on the presense of natural resources (such as the Weather honor), others (such as the Ferns honor or the [[AY Honors/Nature/Edible Wild lants|Edible Wild Plants honor) will benefit greatly from their presence. Don't just hope for the best - prepare! Consult the Nature chapter of this book for more information.

b. Assist in teaching camping skills required in any camping honor and/or AY Class requirements to a group of youth.

The first four AY Classes require that the Pathfinder earn Camping Skills I (Friend), Camping Skills II (Companion), Camping Skills III (Explorer), or Camping Skills IV (Ranger). The Voyager and Guide classes can optionally earn the Pioneering, Winter Camping, Backpacking, or Wilderness Living honors, or this honor (Outdoor Leadership).

c. Determine where the nearest hospital is located.

Using Google Maps

One way to do this is by using the "Find businesses" feature of Google Maps. Enter "hospital" in the "What" box (which appears first), and the location or address of your outdoor setting in the "Where" box (which appears second).

Using Mapquest

You can use the "get directions" feature at Mapquest.com. Under the "starting location", enter the address of the outdoor setting. Under the "Ending Location" enter "hospital" in the "place name" box, and the same city or town as the starting location - even if there is no hospital in that town, it will return the nearest hospital to you. It will display a list of hospitals and veterinary clinics, ordered by distance (nearest first). Check that the facility you choose is indeed a hospital.

d. Determine where the nearest assistance from the police or a park ranger can be obtained.

If your outdoor setting is under the jurisdiction of a park ranger organization, they would be your primary source of help if there is an emergency. Otherwise, you should use the ame techniques outlined for finding a hospital to find the nearest police station.
