Camping
A-Frame Tent, Campfire and Hiking Boots cover the basics, while Trail Signs, a Compass and a Fishing Pole fill out the rest of the campsite. Stamp them on camp name tags, troop certificates, trip logs and packing lists, or repeat one design into a border along a map or menu. See Woodland & Forest for animals on the trail, or Road Trip for the drive there.
Stamps for Camp, Scouts and the Trail
Camping designs cover the whole trip, from setting up to the last marshmallow. Camp Tent and Camper mark where you slept, Camp Grill, Camp Pot and Camping Can cover the cooking, and Flashlight, Matches, Hatchet and First Aid Kit make an easy packing list that kids can tick off.
Ideas for groups and families
- Scout and camp certificates: a Campfire or Compass in the corner of each award.
- Cabin and bunk name tags: a different design per group so tags are easy to sort.
- Packing checklists: one stamp per item beside a tick box.
- S'mores party favors: Campfire and Log on kraft bags tied with twine.
A campfire evening card
Stamp Campfire low on a dark blue card using white or yellow ink, add Tree prints on either side, and write the invitation in the sky above. Guitar works well for a sing-along night.
Camping Stamp Questions
How do I make camp name tags with stamps?
Cut tags from sturdy cardstock, stamp a design on the left, and write the camper's name beside it once the ink is dry. Punch a hole and add a lanyard or safety pin. If tags will be handled outdoors, slip them into clear badge holders to protect them from damp.
Which camping stamps suit a scouting award?
Compass, Trail Signs and Campfire read clearly at certificate scale and suit badges for navigation, hiking or outdoor cooking. Stamp the design in one corner, leave the center for the award text, and use a dark ink so the image matches the printed wording.
Can kids use camping stamps on a rainy day at camp?
Yes, a stamping table makes a calm indoor activity. Lay out washable ink, paper and a few designs, then ask kids to stamp a map of the campsite, adding paths and a lake by hand. An adult should manage the ink pads and help with cleanup.
