Don't
touch
Nature or you could destroy a home...just look and listen
Leave
Nature
alone...let it look after itself
When you
make a Port-A-Potty, dig a hole about
30-50 cm. deep
Every time you use it, pour some dirt into the hole.
When you leave, pour the rest of the dirt in
...make sure it doesn't smell ...stamp it down...mark it with a
cross.
Don't
pollute water by doing your business in
there, or by throwing things in,
or by washing with soap or shampoo in there.
Use dead
and dry wood for fires...don't cut down
live trees.
Build fires
carefully, and where there were fires
before.
If you MUST build a fire in a new place, do it on rocky ground,
and clear a non-burnable space 2 m. diameter.
If your
stomach can't churn it, don't burn
it. Save the Scouting way!
Clean up
after yourself, leave no trace of fires
and pick up every little scrap of garbage
...Even if it's not yours!
When you
leave, try to make it as clean or cleaner
than when you arrived
Leave No Trace you've been there; just
your thanks.
Carry out garbage if there is no receptacle where you are.
Walk
lightly on travelled paths...don't make new
paths
Don't put
chemicals or oil down storm drains
Don't waste
resources through carelessness or
neglect
Be a leader
in preventing damage to the land,
earth, air and water
Why?
Because
we're Scouts. This is our country to care for !
