I was taken 25 miles into the wilds of the Oregon woods and given 1/2 pound of jerky and 3 liters of water and a very good topo map along with the useuall IE. knife , compass,flint, small tarp, good bag(sleeping), small line, fish hooks, pocket mirror, and a bag of weed ( my own expense) LOL.
I was to travel from point “a” to point “b” in 4 days, about 4.7 miles. I did 3 miles the first day and looked :Dfor Geodes the rest of the time.
I am not to sure if they still make Scouts do this… Nick?
Well, I got my Eagle 40 years ago and the Eagle project at that time was indeed some sort of community service. The only thing that was close to Todd’s example was an Order of the Arrow ordeal.
