Activity description: We planned our first camp out. Boys accepted assignments to choose a camp site and arrange for preparation of a dinner, dessert and breakfast. We prepared the dessert we would like to make for our camp out in the dutch oven. While it was cooking, we learned how to tie basic knots and how to light a backpacking stove. We served our dutch oven apple cobbler ala mode (with vanilla ice-cream). Yum!Boy Scout joining requirement #6: Demonstrate tying the square knot (a joining knot).
Tenderfoot rank requirement #4: Demonstrate how to whip and fuse the ends of a rope. Demonstrate that you know how to tie the following knots and tell what their uses are: two half hitches and the taut-line hitch.

Home assignment: Invite your father or other adult to the camp out and involve him in your planning and assignments. Teach him how to tie the knots you just learned.
