Tepees (or Tipis)
If your club is interested in making a tepee or tipi as a
project for the Camporee here are several Websites that have instructions on
how to make them. You may choose to make a full sized one or a model. One
website also outlines the proper etiquette of a tipi.
Or you may choose to make a model of another type of
Native American dwelling. Remember when you are working with your
Pathfinders on these projects to teach them about the tribe that the tipi
represents.
