[Bobwhite Blather] Just what is "camping," anyway?

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

There's a new item at Bobwhite Blather: 'Just what is "camping," anyway?'

Boy Scouts go camping. Everybody knows that, right?

Camping is the universal activity that ties the program together. Outsiders are
likely to think that camping is the raison d'être of Scouting. It's been with
us since the very first camping trip that Lord Baden-Powell took Scouts on back
at Brownsea. Camping is to Scouting as building robots is to Robotics or playing
basketball is to basketball teams.

We have previously explored why Scouts go camping. It's not just because we like
camping. Not many boys join Scouting expressly for the camping. It's because
when Scouts camp, they practice leadership, self-reliance, independent thinking
and problem-solving that will serve them well as they grow.
