Session notes

'An in-tents year' uses photos, so you'll need to gather these in advance (or in the previous session). If you have a day trip or camp planned, take photos for this activity. Otherwise, just gather photos from past events. By the end of this session, some Cubs will have earned their Photographer Activity Badge, so why not include a brief ceremony to award the badges?
