Visit Visit our website This 1948 instructional film produced by the Boy Scouts of America covers some of the basics of hiking. The film makes it clear at the beginning and the end that this only serves as an introduction and should be supplemented with further instruction. The film begins with an example of two different Scout Masters, one who is badly prepared and another who is diligent in planning, to highlight the importance of planning for any hike. This is followed by what to wear and bring for a hike, including the importance of conducting practice hikes before undertaking longer journeys. In the last part of the film, the different groups are in a competition to get to a pre-determined place as fast as possible through different navigation clues. They make camp at this location and demonstrate different methods for outdor cooking. 0:08 Boy Scouts of America Presents “Patrol and Troop Hiking”, 0:28 Message of warning noting that the instructional video has been shortened for immediate needs and instructions on how to most efficiently learn the material covered in the film, 1:28 a boy giving an oath to become a Boy Scout, 2:01 the Scout talking to another boy while playing darts, 2:41 Boy Scouts hiking with their Scout Master, 3:12 Scout Master giving instructions to a group of Scouts, 4:11 a group of Scouts sitting on steps waiting and crowding around their Scout Master when he arrives, 5:00 another Scout Master and his Scouts going through a program of activities, 6:22 scenes of Scouts on different hikes including to an old mill, in a town, through a forest, and stalking game in a field, 7:29 a young Scout putting on proper hiking equipment like long pants, socks, solid shoes, and packing first aid equipment and navigation equipment, 8:16 tired young Scouts on a practice hike, 8:48 a Scout Master inspecting a young Scout’s foot and then applying a plaster on a blister, 9:10 Scouts stopping to take a break and eat their lunch, 10:07 a troop of Scouts preparing for a hike, 10:51 Scouts opening a letter with competition instructions, 11:22 Scout Leader takes out map and compass to know where to head, 11:55 Scouts huddle around tree for next set of instructions in Morse Code, 12:44 Scouts reach their position to find another team beat them there, 13:30 Scouts preparing and cooking different meals including a one pot meal, a meal without utensils, and one with cooking gear, 14:28 Scouts begin eating their meal, 15:01 Scouts sit in front of campfire at night and talk to each other, 15:40 summary footage of all the learning that has taken place, 16:01 “The End” followed by messages that instructions should be given beyond this film We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
