Learning Scout skills at the Philly Encampment

At the Philadelphia Encampment, an annual fall gathering of Scouts from in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the younger guys get to learn about pioneering from older Scouts. They also get a taste of other Scouting skills that will come in handy as they progress through the ranks of Boy Scouts. At last year’s encampment, there were stations covering suck topics as nature, first aid, map and compass, and cooking.

Take a look at video and photos from the Philadelphia Encampment, and then read more about the event in the October issue of Boys’ Life magazine.
