HandiCrafts Area

The Handicrafts Area can do much to add to a Scout's growth and appreciation of skilled craftsmanship. By completing simple projects, Scouts will be able to evaluate their own talents, strive to do a better job next time and learn the wisdom of the adage "practice makes perfect". Craft work can also teach the perseverance to finish a job once it is started.

Craft supplies can be purchased in the Trading Post.
