The merit badge counselor is of great importance here. It has been a while, but I do believe the requirements do state to carry everything throughout the trek. -

Someone in the troop said it doesn't say carry the pack for 15 miles. They said in the supplemental documentation that we shouldn't overread the requirements, and GTA says we aren't allowed to create requirements via parsing. I'm just not sure what is right and if that should be counted as a 15-mile backpacking trip if more than 1/3 of the time you don't have a backpack on. -

My initial take is you could count the 8.5 backpacking miles, but the 6.5 may be considered hiking, but not backpacking. There is a definite difference between the two. Also, consider the intent of the merit badges. As much as some may overlap, there is a benefit to a separate mindset. I applaud you and the scouts for the entire program and outing. -

Hi: I am looking to expand my Scouting collection and reference library to include "Wood Badge Instructors Guide to Practical Training" from either a) the "first" era (1948-68) or b) the "second" era (1968-2002). Does anyone know or have? Thanks!
