In the new Cub Scout program there are required adventures
for all ranks that center around the idea of learning to camp. The boys
are required to participate in a campfire program, learn about the Leave no
Trace principles, the outdoor code and more. But wait… as per the“Green Scouting Handbook”, (page 4 section 6.1) Cub Scouts in LDS units are
not allowed to go camping, right? Let’s re-examine the statement in the
LDS Scouting handbook a little closer because the “Cub Scouts can’t go camping”
interpretation is not quite accurate. What it actually says is: “No Scout-sponsored overnight camping should
be planned for boys under age 11.” Okay,
so does it actually say that a boy under age 11 can’t go camping? No!
Let’s get this straight… A Cub Scout age boy CAN go camping, just not
with his den or pack, like would be done in Cub Scout packs not sponsored by
the LDS church.

LDS Church Updates Safety Resources
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has not only updated its safety-related website, but it also released three new videos. The videos address real risks faced by anyone who uses the outdoors as a classroom. They cover lightning safety, drowsy driving, and being physically prepared in a different approach than most safety videos.
