As far as gear for camping is concerned, you will need to bring clothes, sleeping bag, blanket or mat(optional), mess kit, personal hygiene items, sturdy shoes, and a good attitude! There are other items, but we will usually send out a list. We will provide food and tents, as well as fire equipment.
We try to have events ever month or so, these events range in prices depending on what we do that month. Our troop tries to have summer camp and a high adventure camp every year during the summer.Β
When we're camping at a time/place where it might be down to freezing points, here are some tips. *These are in addition to other itemsΒ
Layer up: Bring and wear multiple layers to say as warm as possible
Good socks and shoes: Be sure to bring good boots and possibly some wool socks
Sleeping: Make sure you have some warm blankets with you as well as a good sleeping bag and pad/mat
Hat and Gloves: bring protection from the cold weather and wind
Stay warm: make sure to bring more items to keep you warm, such as hand warmers, blankets, etc.
We may go on hikes, sporting sleepovers, or campouts, but when we do remember to use the scout law and oath. On these events, we ask that you be respectful toward others and the environment. Depending on what we do, there might be some extra things to bring such as water shoes. If we see personal device that should not be there, phones, tablets, etc. the leaders will confiscate them. We all hope you have fun.
