Agree with staking to the ground. Making tent pegs is a great way to use the saw, axe, knife skills on a regular basis. Often we complain about one&done, or advancement reqs as separate from program. This is how to incorporate it. If the books&magazines don't show it, the adult patrol can certainly model it.
Scout: wow mister, how did you set up your guys tarp without any tent stakes or line-locs.
ASM Smith: look here, we made a couple pegs with our hatchet & knife. Tied the tarp to them with a taut-line hitch. Each of us made one peg, so it only took a few minutes. Mister Peabody never made one, so I showed him how.
Scout: Neat Mister Smith, can you show me?
ASM: I could, but better yet how about Mr. Peabody shows you while I watch. Then you can show the rest of your patrol while Mr. Peabody watches.
Scout: Swell. Can I get my assistant patrol leader to come watch too?
ASM: certainly. We willbe right here.
