Scout Skills: Setting up Camp!

When you find your campsite the natural urge is: “let’s get at it-pitch our tents and clear our fire area.” Hold it, don’t be too eager to get started! You don’t build a house without a plan, nor should you set up camp without one. Time spent before setting up facilities can avoid later problems. A smart outfit takes a good look at the total area, using eyes and horse sense to pick the logical locations for dining fly, kitchen, latrine, and tents. Check wind direction, weather probability, and terrain. Plan your campsite for convenience and comfort. — The Official Patrol Leader Handbook Third Edition, 1980
