The Outdoor Code
As an American, I will do my best to be clean in my outdoor manner, be careful with fire, be considerate in the outdoors, and be conservation-minded.
You will gain a great appreciation for the outdoors during you life as a scouter. As you learn how to camp using the principles of Leave No Tace, you will not only preserve this great land for future campouts you will go on, but for future scouters that will follow in your footsteps.
I think I make a point to do at the close of every campsite is to have everyone fan out and comb the area by walking from one end of the campsite to the other picking up all trash... even if it was there before we camped. When you leave a campsite, you should always strive to make it better than how you found it.
