Junior Survival Camp

 


  Junior Survival Camp (JSC) is designed to give boys intense training and experience in survival camping. JSC is for Rangers who have completed the ninth grade and AJTC. Upon completion if JSC the junior leader will have completed all requirements for the silver Wilderness Survival Merit.

 

  The time at JSC will be divided between instruction and application. Boys are placed into two-man survival teams and will select a name and motto for their team. Boys learn skills such as advanced fire craft, primitive beds and shelters, outdoor cooking, and first aid. Teams construct and live in survival shelters. They build solar stills and use the water that is obtained.

  They learn how to acquire and prepare food from their surroundings. Teams will sleep in primitive shelters. Their survival kits are inspected and brought up to minimum standards by the camp staff. JSC includes a 24-hour survival experience.
