We will craft a debris shelter, taking care to gather wood safely. (wildlife check) We will do a different craft for each event. 

We will use basic tools (saw, rope, and small knife) to craft our shelter. 

If your Scout doesn't have a tool kit they will use their event allowance to shop for it at the dollar store on the way to the river. I want the Scouts to start with a small and easy to replace kit to learn and practice with in preparation for camping trips and proper gear sets which they will earn through care of the one they get first.

While we are at the river we will do our part to clean up litter/garbage, and explore for signs of creatures in the area to document. 

The scouts will budget 700 to 1000yen from their allowance to shop for what they would like to eat and cook for the BBQ.   Aside from the regular items, your Scout will need warm cloths, boots, gloves, and a camera if possible.
