Join the One WINNER is drawn at the end of each month Local boy scouts winter camp to earn merit badges By Sherri Sebella Local Boy Scout Troop 151, out of Petersburg, joined oth- er troops throughout the area, for a winter camping trip last weekend at the Old Ben Scout Reservation, in Cato. Approxi- mately 34 Scouts attended the winter camping trip. Scouts were there to earn merit badges and learn surviv- al skills in the chilly weather. Cameron Smith, Adult Leader and Assistant Scout Master, enjoyed his time with the scouts. "I told them if you are focusing on the bad (being cold), you won't have fun," Smith said. "I told them if you focus on the fun parts, you won't have a bad experience." Smith said that the only re- al struggle throughout the weekend, was boiling water, because it would immediate- ly freeze or turn to slush. "The kids all stayed warm," Smith said. "They weren't miserable about the cold. We had a camp- fire going all the time, and ex- tra forms of heat, so the scouts were all okay with it." Goals of the weekend camp- ing trip included earning the Boy Scout "Totin Card." This certification grants a Scout the right to carry and use wood tools. The Scout must show their Scout leader, or someone designated by their leader, that the Scout under- stands their responsibility to do the following: • Read and understand wood tools use and safety rules from the Scouts BSA handbooks. • Demonstrate proper handling, care, and use of the pocketknife, ax and saw. • Use knife, ax and saw as tools, not playthings. • Respect all safety rules to protect others. • Respect property. Cut liv- ing and dead trees only with permission and good reason. • Subscribe to the Outdoor Code. The Scout's "Totin' Rights" can be taken away if they fail in their responsibility. According to Smith, other skills the Scouts worked on, included being prepared out in the cold, along with cook- ing and kitchen safety. "The cooking merit badge is a big badge to earn," Smith said. "They were trying to com- plete as many requirements as possible over the weekend. We had two girls from anoth- er troop teach the Scouts nu- trition also." Another goal through- out the camping weekend was to earn the "Firem'n Chit" award. This certifica- tion grants a Scout the right to carry fire-lighting devic- es (matches, lighters, etc.) to build campfires. The Scout must show their Scout lead- er, or someone designated by their leader, an understanding of the responsibility to do the following: Read and understand use and safety rules from the Scouts BSA Handbook. Build a campfire only when necessary and when they have the necessary permits (regu- lations vary by locality). Minimize campfire impacts or use existing fire lays con- sistent with the principles of 'Leave No Trace'. Boy Scouts will check to see that all flam- mable material is cleared at least 5 feet in all directions from fire (total 10 feet). Boy Scouts will safely use and store fire-starting mate- rials. Boy Scouts will see that fire is attended to at all times. Boy Scouts will make sure that water and/or a shovel is readily available. They will promptly report any wildfire to the proper authorities. Boy Scouts will use the cold-out test to make sure the fire is cold out and will make sure the fire lay is cleaned be- fore they leave it. Boy Scouts will follow the Outdoor Code, the Guide to Safe Scouting, and the princi- ples of 'Leave No Trace' and 'Tread Lightly! ' The Scout's "Firem'n Rights" can be taken away if they fail in their responsibility. "I think the highlights of the trip were the Scouts learning how to use pocket- knives and earning their Totin Cards," Smith said. "Another great experience was the new Scouts learning how to use troop equipment, since they were Webelos before, so this was their first camping ex- perience and using the troop equipment. It was a great ex- perience for the two newest members of our troop." Boy Scouts worked on their kitchen safety badge during a recent winter camping trip. Scouts learned about kitchen tool safety, first aid, and food allergies. Boy Scout, Andy Johnson, works to maintain the group campfire with his father, Mike Johnson, while earn- ing his "Firem'n Chit" award. Life Scout, Aiden Nord, teaches a group of younger scouts about kitchen safety, first aid and allergies, during a winter camping trip at Old Ben Scout Reservation. Pregnant... or think you are?
