Troop 1 Virtual Library

Advancement: The Trail to Eagle

Berkeley's Troop 5 has a really great Eagle referral site, well worth your point and click time.

 

Find the requirements for all the current merit badges at the U.S. Scouts web site. See the **Members Only** page for Troop 1 merit badge counselors.

Reference Library: Scouting & Camping Skills
Let other Scout troops lash together camp gadgets. Troop 1 lashes bridges, decks, lunar landing modules, whatever. Here are some useful links to sharpen those Scout skills.

Campfire Cooking Tips

 

 

Troop 1's campfire cooking philosophy:

  • Never eat more than you can lift.
  • Likes and dislikes are among our favorites.
  • Never line your pockets with hot cheese.
  • Life is short. Eat what you want

 

 

Finding Your Way with Map and Compass

Good orienteering information from the U. S. Geological Survey, the same good people who bring us all those great topo maps.
