Thanks all you have confirmed my understanding as it is an interpretation. The real objective is monthly outdoor activities with a minimum of 10 days of overnight camping. I will pass along the different suggestions here. they all are good. Thanks and have a good day all.

It is in reference to the bullet responsibilities in the troop committee guidebook

With all the changes in the program, can someone tell me what the 10 outdoor nights in an annual program means? Does the weeklog summer camp count towards it?

Actually, I am appalled at the attitude of adult leaders when it comes to the value of the uniform. Just go out there and read the excerpts from Scouting and our founder Lord Baden-Powell regarding the purpose the uniform serves to the program and the community. While returning from our Scout Camp, we happened upon and accident. When we stepped in to help I heard someone say thank God some Scouts are here. The uniform symbolizes a purpose and expectation which brings peace of mind, comfort and fellowship to the community. Like the purpose of the neckerchief. I have witnessed or been part of two occasions where the neckerchief was used in emergency service. Not only an excellent decoration to complete the look of the uniform, it is a tool when needed. We were pleased to have been prepared on those occasions. There is an excellent quote from Lord Baden-Powell, “Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I will show you a poorly uniformed Scout Masterâ€Â. Adults suck it up, we lead by example and yes everyone is watching.
