Scoutcraft is a term coined by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). It is used to describe those skills that the organization feels that all of its Scouts should know. An example list of skills, taken from 1964's Boy Scout Handbook (sixth edition) includes:
- Camp Cooking
- Camp Health
- Camp Preparation
- Cleanup
- Edible Wild Plants
- Finding Directions
- Fire Building
- First Aid
- Hiking
- Knowing Trees and Shrubs
- Lashings
- Map Reading
- Map Sketching
- Preparing Firewood
- Selecting * Camp Site
- Signaling
- Swimming
- Tent Pitching
- Use of * Compass
- Using * Axe in Camp
- Wildlife
While the term fell into disuse with later editions of the Boy Scout Handbook, these basic skills are still emphasized by the BSA, particularly in its outdoor and camping programs. The use and demonstration of certain of these skills are still required to advance through the Boy Scout ranks.
