While some scouts may be adept at self-study, others may do better in a small group setting and taking notes on worksheets. Make an agenda. You can facilitate discussion by asking them why each of the principles introduced here would be relevant. Schedule one or more patrol meetings to work this merit badge. | While some scouts may be adept at self-study, others may do better in a small group setting and taking notes on worksheets.

== Outlandish Scout Climbing Adventures == | |||
Over the years, various scout troops have discovered some incredible places for spectacular Climbing Merit Badge work | |||

* [[Joshua Tree National Park]] - (Top destination for California scouts) Hidden Valley is a self-guiding, one-mile loop trail that winds among massive boulders through what was believed to be a legendary cattle rustlers' hideout. It is one of the most popular and scenic hiking trails in Joshua Tree National Park. The area is also a popular rock-climbing area. Many visitors enjoy just watching the climbers in action. | |||
* [https://www.mountainproject.com/area/112837543/lava-tube Lava Tubes Rock Climbing] - (Spelunking) - A volcanic cave underground with short, highly featured overhung routes on very sharp rock. Be prepared to brush dust off your cloths, gear and holds (bring a brush). Crash pads would be ideal, though a top rope can be set where the hole in the ceiling is, in the center of the cave's largest room. | |||
* [https://www.hikespeak.com/trails/craters-of-the-moon-caves-trail/ ''Boy Scout Cave'' - Craters of the Moon National Monument] - The entrances to Boy Scout Cave is so small you have to crawl inside and barely have room to stand. The final tunnel on the trail, Beauty Cave, has a walk-in entrance leading to an intensely dark corridor. | |||
