Notes:

  • 30 minutes to make with experience; plan for an hour with Scouts
  • For the same warmth, you’ll spend over $100 for self-inflating or even cheap blue foam pads
  • A warmer pad means you won’t need as warm a sleeping bag

Tips:

  • Boys can teach the class, but boys first need to prove they can teach the entire class well to an ASM
  • Bring a box to for all tools to be tossed into at end
  • More tools of each you can bring, the less waiting boys will do
  • Large, flat space works best (think concrete floor)
