My reply:

GOOD QUESTION! I'm not sure.

The actual wording is as follows:

3. Since joining, have participated in ten separate
troop/patrol activities (other than troop/patrol
meetings), three of which included camping overnight.

I would interpret it as a MINIMUM of 3 campouts. But I could be wrong.

I'm going to post a copy of this to rec.scouting.usa and to Scouts-L and
see what others think.
