First Class is a major milestone in Scouting's advancement program. A First Class Scout is expected to be proficient in all the basic camping skills. All of his outdoor requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class have helped him to get to this point. The First Class Camp puts them all together so the Scout can apply what he has learned in a weekend camping experience. This is a pretty tough requirement and many boys don't meet it the first time. But once they do, they have the confidence to go on and meet the new challenges of troop leadership plus opportunities both within and outside the troop for high adventure trips and membership in the Order of the Arrow.
A First Class camp consists of two Scouts planning a menu and demonstrating the skills taught to this point. Using their scout Skills they will complete several lashing projects and meals of their choice to impress the leaders. The full list of Requirements can be
