Camp Skills Evaluation Form

This checklist was sent to me by one of my former co-Guiders, Leslie Bown. When I was in Ottawa, she and I (and a number of other wonderful ladies... Hi Cheryl! Hi Charlene! Hi Shelia!) (tee hee) worked together with a fabulous group of Pathfinders. Anyhow, seems they're doing fine without me! :) This year when Leslie And Crew headed off to camp, They found that a number of the newer girls weren't too sure what was expected of them as Pathfinders, in terms of duties, campsite management, tent care, etc. So Leslie created the following checklist for the girls to complete before, during and after the camp. More columns can be added to the forms for other camps the girls attend later in the year. As the girls gain more camping experience, they check off the more advanced skills. When all the Camp Skills boxes have been checked at least once, the girls have completed most of their Bronze Camping Badge. There are a few items (marked with a *) which hopefully don't get checked off at all!
