The Scout should perform his given duties in camp and in the campsite. He should follow the rules of the camp at all times. He shall show respect for his fellow campers and his environment. If the Scoutmaster wishes to do so, he may have the Scout stand a brief personal and tent inspection as part of this requirement.

Using proper woodsman's tools and two matches, build a fire from natural materials. Set the fire to burn for 15 minutes without additional wood or alteration.

If the Scout does not light the fire with the given two matches, he should rebuild the fire and then try to light it with two more matches. If the fire does not burn for the required time, the Scout must gather more wood, and repeat the entire requirement. After burning for the proper time, he should extinguish it properly and then clean the area. Proper safety precautions, including fire buckets and a clear area, should be followed when completing this requirement.

The required number of Scouts which he will assist should first be determined by the Scoutmaster, but it is best if the candidate can learn to recognize when another Scout needs help and help him without needing further reminders. Each of the other requirements of this rank should be performed in such a manner as will demonstrate the ability of the candidate to teach that skill or knowledge to other Scouts.
