Welcome to Troop 792!
The Parent Guide describes the structure of the Troop, District, and Council.
Some merit badges will take months to earn. Others will be easy. There might be one that takes several years. That is rare, but it has happened. The best example I can give is a Scout who took two years to be able to dive, which is required for the Swimming merit badge.
There are two types of camping:
- "Car camping," where the car is parked relatively close to the campsite and the group gear can be heavy and is stored by a quartermaster, and the food is usually perishable and kept on ice. This list shows the recommended gear for that.
- Backpacking, where we eat non-perishable (usually freeze-dried) food, cook on small, lightweight stoves, and carry everything in packs, sometime for several miles. This list shows that recommended gear.
