Thank you all for your amazing ideas and advice. I'm sure that it will be an amazing trip.

Ha, funny. Thank you. In our troop, we just have to use what we've got.

To answer some of your guys' question, We're doing it in 4/5 patrols, with about 7 in each. We don't have anyone with a lot of survival experience, but we do have three or four LNT certified adults. And like I said above, this would be a patrol based trip. Since this would be the first time were doing this, I would almost consider this a trial run for future events like this. I don't want to do anything too extreme, like the chicken thing that Horizon said. The scouts that are going to be doing this are from 12-14, and they don't have any survival experience. My plan was to put the basic scout skills that they learn at the meetings (first aid, cooking, etc.) and throw a little survival twist into it.

Hello Scouter Community - I am a Life Scout in a troop out of North Carolina. This is my first time using this website, so if this post is in the wrong place, please let me know so I can re-post it in the correct forum. A few scouts in my troop are planning a survival campout for March. This is going to be the first 'survival' event our troop has done, and it is actually going to be the first campout that is being planned just by scouts, so I want to make it as fun and as great as possible. If you guys have any feedback or advice, it would all be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
