6. Prepare balanced menus for one cooked breakfast, lunch, and supper.

7. Complete the following while on an overnight camping trip:

a. Prepare ground properly for comfortable sleeping.

If using one, this has to be done before your tent is pitched, otherwise you lose access to the ground. Carefully inspect the area for rocks, sticks, stumps, and anything lumpy. Pine needles may be spread beneath the sleeping area for added comfort, but this is not a requirement. A small pebble in your thigh feels larger and larger as the night progresses, so take care when clearing the area. If you are planning to sleep on an air mattress, you still must clear the ground. Air mattresses have been known to deflate during the night, and if that's what you were relying on, you're not going to get much sleep. Furthermore, sticks and stones have a nasty habit of poking holes in a tent floor, and that compromises the water-tightness of your quarters.

b. Correctly pitch and strike a tent.

d. Show how to protect your camp against animals, insects, and wet or bad weather.

Tightly sealing your food will not only lock the aromas in, it will also keep rain, snow, and sleet out. More than one camping breakfast has been ruined because the weather got into the pancake mix and oatmeal.

e. Show how to take proper care of the environment as you camp and leave the area with no trace of having been there.
