It is also important to be aware that many plants are poisonous if eaten. Never eat a wild plant unless you know ''exactly'' what it is, ''know'' that it is edible, know that the ''part'' of the plant you are eating is edible, and know that that part of the plant is edible ''in its current stage of growth''. All of these are important considerations, as some plants have no non-poisonous parts, some have edible and poisonous parts, and some edible parts become poisonous as the plant matures.

If using a tent, this has to be done ''before'' it 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.

A three-day campout often starts on Friday evening and ends Sunday at lunchtime. This adds up to six meals, so you will need to divide your campers into no more than three smaller groups. Each camper in your party should be assigned kitchen duty. It is easier to remember which meal a person is responsible if they are assigned the same meal every day - for instance, you might designate a breakfast group, and they will cook all breakfasts. However, if your group is attempting to earn several camping honors at once, you should look at the types of meals each person is required to cook (one-pot, boiling, frying, reflector oven, etc.) and vary the assignments based on that.

Complete the following while on an overnight camping trip:


7a

Prepare ground properly for comfortable sleeping.


If using a tent, this has to be done before it 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.


7b

Correctly pitch and strike a tent.

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

Learn and practice the Leave No Trace 7 Principles:

1) Plan ahead and prepare. 2) Travel and camp on durable surfaces. 3) Dispose of waste properly. 4) Leave what you find. 5) Minimize campfire impacts (be careful with fire). 6) Respect wildlife. 7) Be considerate of other visitors.

8

Know eight things to do when lost.


Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Camping/Lost


9

Camp for a continuous three days and two nights, sleeping each night under the stars or in a tent. Be actively involved in cooking at least two of the meals.


A three-day campout often starts on Friday evening and ends Sunday at lunchtime. This adds up to six meals, so you will need to divide your campers into no more than three smaller groups. Each camper in your party should be assigned kitchen duty. It is easier to remember which meal a person is responsible if they are assigned the same meal every day - for instance, you might designate a breakfast group, and they will cook all breakfasts. However, if your group is attempting to earn several camping honors at once, you should look at the types of meals each person is required to cook (one-pot, boiling, frying, reflector oven, etc.) and vary the assignments based on that.


10

Considering the things learned in this honor and the camping done, what is the meaning and the reason of the Pathfinder Camping Code?


  1. I will camp only where camping is allowed.
  2. I will keep my campsite clean at all times, and I will leave it cleaner than when I found it.
  3. I will never leave my campfire unattended, and when I leave I will be sure that it is entirely out.
  4. I will never use my knife or ax to cut, mar or scar live trees.
  5. I will never pick wild flowers without permission.
  6. I will never cut trails while hiking.
  7. I will never pollute a lake or stream.
  8. I will always respect the privacy of other campers.
  9. I will always be polite and courteous.
  10. I will respect all signs, authority, rules and private property.
  11. I will always conduct myself as a Pathfinder and a Christian and as a child of God.
  12. I will always leave a campsite knowing that I am welcome to return.
