While the GZC functions in the International Zone, there is a whole country outside our little enclave that is going about their business. Like scouts everywhere, Iraqi scouting has many ties to the joys of nature and camping. Iraqi scouts go to camps, and when they have a camp their schedule may look something like this.

How interesting that you would post this at the exact same time I was in the mountains of California with my Boy Scout troop. We were fortunate enough to attend a 50 year old camp that has a great program that kept our boys busy all day long. As the acting Scoutmaster I probably should have been doing tent inspections like your list indicated. A couple of these guys needed to pay attention to the "clean" part of the Boy Scout Oath.
Do the Scouts have badges that they are earning for specific skills like camping, citizenship, soil and water conservation, and the like? I'd sure like to hear about the program that these troops are developing.
