SVI CAMPSITES Challenge

Get
to know the 3 SVI campsites by exploring them and working on a special
challenge while camping there with your
unit.
For each site, a separate crest can be earned for camping two
consecutive nights plus working on several challenges associated with
that particular site. The three crest segments fit
together. An individual should expect to take several years
to
earn all three segments.
There are several challenge components to achieve at each of the three
sites:
• Sleep at the camp for 2 consecutive nights
• Camp skills
• Site history
• Ecosystem/nature
• Guiding component (songs, skits, stories).
For assistance and crests see your Camping Advisor.
