More than 150 scouts from across southern Alberta gathered this weekend to attend a winter training camp aimed at teaching emergency and survival skills to youth.
The Senator Buchanon Winter Skills Training Camp invited 12 different scout groups to set up camp on a field just outside Diamond Valley.
“You never know when you’re going to need these skills in life,” said 11-year-old, Folu Ajibola with the 86th Woodcliff Scouts. She says these types of camps are important not just for teaching survival skills, but also life skills. Scout groups attended this weekend’s event from Okotoks, Diamond Valley, Lethbridge and Calgary, camping overnight to get a real-world experience of experiencing the wilderness.
