Below is a list of the Adventure requirements that campers worked on by rank. Even more than at an in person camp each camper's experience is different and the adult signing off needs to help ensure that the camper took part in that experience. Requirements that the campers did not do at camp are struck through like this. If your den or pack took part in camp this can count as part of the National Summertime Pack Award.
