Meeting
Leave No Trace
This is a very important program, which is bigger than just the Scouts;
it is common to most outdoors programs. There is a official Leave No Trace
website at
www.lnt.org. Note that it is
.org; if you enter lnt.com, you get a completely unrelated
site. We went over a number of the points of Leave No Trace during the
meeting, in a set of three sessions. and we each received a little set
of true/false questions in a quiz format to review. The answers were on
the back. When the program was finished, we got a summary of the points
of Leave No Trace.
The meeting concluded with a frenetic game of dodgeball.
