Canadians are sadly lacking in outdoor skills. That's the consensus by Scouts Canada, thanks to a recent survey by the group.

Outdoor and camping skills are good for more than just a fun weekend in nature; adventure-based play outside leads to better-developed motor skills, social behaviour, independence, and conflict resolution skills that support physical and mental well-being in youth development.
