Brownie Scout Requirements
That Can be Met at Michigan Christian Youth Camp
(download the PDF Version)
The following are suggested activities that can
easily be done at MCYC to meet requirements for Try It’s. You can combine any of
them to earn more than one Try It during your visit here. I have listed ones
that I felt were most appropriate for us to help with, but you can complete the
entire Try It requirement on your visit by doing the remaining activities on
your own while you are here (we can do it for you for a fee, you can pick what
you want help with). For several of the requirements/suggested activities, we
can expound on them to enhance your overall experience. You also can sign up for
one of our Nature classes that last for one hour and will give additional
information (some are suggested next to the activity).
