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 !
