I have been meaning to get out a list to all campers in Den 11 on what you should bring.
I am hearing that we will be able to drop things off at the campsite from the car. That means you can bring more than you will probably need knowing you can store some things in the car.
Essentials:
- Tent
- Sleeping Bags
- Sleeping Mat/Sleeping Cot/air mattress: Note: An air mattress will assume the temperature of the ground quickly. Bring an insulator to go between your sleeping bag or blankets and the air mattress. An extra blanket works well for this.
- Water Bottle/Canteen
- Flashlight - check the batteries
- Personal toiletries (toothbrush, soap, shampoo, etc).
- Shower Shoes - It is a good idea to bring a pair of flip flops to wear in the showers
- Towels
- Sun Protection
- Bug Spray or wipes
- Rain Gear - We will be insured to get great weather if everyone brings their rain gear.
- Extra Clothes for the season: As we all know, this fall has been cool (especially in the evenings). Bring appropriate clothing. Layers work best so you can discard warmer clothes as the day heats up.
- Appropriate footwear - I do not recommend open toed shoes/sandals. Bring a second pair incase the first gets wet.
- First aid kit (if you have one for camping)
Families are responsible for any medications or personal needs supplies while camping.
Remember: since none of Den 11 has their whittling badge, none of our scouts should be carrying their personal pocket knives.
Does anyone have a large awning/dinning fly? If it does rain a little, it would be a place we could gather outside our tents.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions
