The Clean Camp

| Notes: | Maintaining a clean, organized campsite shows respect for yourself, your patrol, and nature. |
Walk through a sloppy campsite and you'll see gear scattered everywhere, trash blowing around, and no system to anything. Now walk through a clean, well-organized camp: gear stored properly, kitchen area tidy, everything in its place. Which patrol do you think functions better?
A clean camp isn't about being fussy or overly neat. It's practical. You can find what you need quickly. You don't attract animals with food waste. You don't trip over scattered gear. And you're showing respect for the space you're borrowing from nature.
A Scout is clean, and that starts with your campsite. When you maintain a clean camp, you're practicing habits that will serve you everywhere - at home, at school, in your future workspace. Because cleanliness isn't about perfection; it's about taking care of your space and respecting those who share it with you.
