What to bring:
Do not bring electronics (iTouch, iPod, etc.). Cell phones are OK but should be used only for emergencies.

Fold-up chair (optional). We will sit around the fire at night.

We will be learning/practicing skills that we will compete in at field day (12/8) such as marksmanship, archery, fire building, knot tying, shelter building, tripod lashing, bait casting, and nail driving.
We hope all of our cadets and as many dads as possible can make it! It should be a lot of fun!
