Outdoor Ethics Guide (OEG)
Outdoor ethics guides help troops plan and conduct an outdoor program that
emphasizes effectively practicing the Outdoor Code, the Leave No Trace principles, and
the Tread Lightly! principles. Guides work to help Scouts improve their outdoor ethics
decision-making skills to help minimize impacts as they hike, camp, and participate in
other outdoor activities. In particular, they should support Scouts who are working to
complete the relevant requirements for the Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class
ranks.
