Who should take Troop Camper Certification?
One adult per troop participating in:
- Outdoor campfires or activities using indoor fireplace.
- Camping when meals are not provided.
- Camping when meals are cooked using propane, butane, charcoal, solar cooking, wood fires, or hibachi.
- Camping at campgrounds on your own, not part of a community encampment.
- Although Troop Camper 1 is not required to camp in a building, it is highly recommended. The online videos are full of useful information.
Troop Camper Certification is a two-part course. Both parts must be completed in order to be certified.
