The Leave No Trace training focuses on seven
key principles:
- Plan Ahead and Prepare
-- knowing campground regulations and areas preserved for wildlife
- Camp and Travel on Durable
Surfaces -- using existing trails and campsites to minimize
the effect on vegetation
- Pack It In, Pack It Out
-- encouraging Scouts to take their trash home with them
- Leave What You Find --
such as rocks, plants, animals, archaeological artifacts and other
objects so that others who visit the site can enjoy them
- Minimize Campfires --
to protect the naturalness of the area and reduce the overuse of
firewood
- Respect Wildlife -- by
observing animals from afar, avoiding quick movements, and storing food
securely
- Respect Others -- by
keeping noise down, selecting campsites away from other campers,
respecting private property, and leaving gates as they were found
