As a former scout myself, I am perfectly fine with just a sleeping bag on the ground unless it is likely to precipitate in any way. But I could also build a simple shelter using materials from around the area if I really had to.

In North Ontario, the black flies want to know your next campsite location.

I got a really nice bivvie bag with a single tent pole and an integral bug net. It has been fantastic when the deer flies wanna know what your eyelids taste like.

Could you build a waterproof shelter using found materials?

Rope and plastic sheeting would be a minimum requirement for me.

Yes, but the difficulty would depend on the region. Somewhere with big fat palm leaves? No problem. A pine forest? That's gonna take some effort.
