NOTES:

• Pocket Knives are ONLY to be carried/used by Scouts who earned completed knife safety

• Manmade materials are good. They are generally lighter, repel or at least hold less water than natural fabrics and dry faster.

• Cotton is BAD. Blue jeans soak up a ton of water and take forever to dry.

• If it is cold, several layers are better than one big bulky coat.

• Pack your spare clothes in Ziploc bags (keep them dry).

• No electronics (this is a time to interact with your friends)

• No lighters (matches are to be kept under adult control / supervision at all times)

• Pack ahead of time, check that you have what you need, don’t overpack.
