Wilderness Awareness School - Scout Awareness Overnight
Discover the ancient ways of the scout! Develop the keen awareness and observation tools demonstrated by the ancient scouts of many cultures. Learn how scouts used their awareness of their surroundings to keep their people safe and healthy. Practice the arts of moving invisibly, dressing in camouflage, understanding bird language (the alarm system of the forest), tracking wildlife and human movement, and identifying wild, edible plants. During this week, scouts will work together with other scouts to push themselves to learn and improve their skills. Those who enter the world of the Scout will likely never see nature the same way again!
