Chinook Council will continue to remain in Stage 1 (virtual) Scouting following the province’s update on health restrictions last week. We will remain in Stage ...1 until at least January 21st. We know that this is not the news we were hoping for. We want to be able to see you in person instead of through a computer screen. We want to be outdoors. We are going to do all of this as soon as the Alberta Government restrictions allow us. We encourage you all to think of the value of Scouting and the impact that it makes on you, your community and more importantly our youth. So, let’s talk about it. Let us know the experiences that have been had and how Scouting is giving everyone experiences that will serve throughout a lifetime. Scouting is a way of life and we are all a part of it.

It can be quite difficult to sustain a fire if you use an incorrect position of firewood. There are several main types of logging and depending on the situation, you should choose the appropriate type of fire. *Swedish firewood can burn for up to 5 hours and is good for preparing food but it doesn't light up a terrain well. *Teepee fires are the quickest to set on fire and provides a lot of warmth and light but it's not good in windy weather. *Star fires are good for preparin...g food and its embers glow for a long time. But if you assemble this type of fire incorrectly, it will be difficult to start. *Lean-to fires are where one thick piece of firewood supports all the others. This type of fire is good in bad weather, it doesn't fall apart but it doesn't burn very intensely. *Platform fires use firewood placed on each other making up a lattice. It's perfect for cooking but it requires very dry thick tree branches. *Log cabin fires burn stably and don't require any special care. But it requires some skill to assemble the firewood properly so that it doesn't extinguish the fire. #scouts #scoutscanada #scoutsdostuff Scouts Canada Scouts Canada - Chinook Council

The first thing you need to do in the wild is set up a bonfire. However, not everyone knows how to do it correctly. Therefore, people usually end up wasting their precious time. A bonfire consists of 3 parts: Tinder consists of dry, thin twigs as thick as pencil lead and as long as a hand. You will need as much tinder as you can grasp with your fingers in both hands. Kindling consists of twigs as thick as your fingers and as long as a forearm. You will need as much kindling a...s you can grasp with both arms. Firewood is a wood that will burn in the fire for a long time. 3 branches should be as thick as your wrist or even thicker. Break them into parts as long as your arms. Firstly, put the tinder in the shape of a tent and burn it. After that, place the kindling the same way and gradually add firewood. Such a fire will burn for a long time and will give good coal for preparing food #beavers#cubs#scouts#venturers#rovers #yyc#calgary#scoutsdostuff #scouting #scoutscanada #canadian @chinookscouting @scoutscanada See more
