Camping gear

 We will have a campout every month of the year.

Plan to be there!

Don’t miss out on the fun and adventure!!!

One of the most important things good campers know is what to take and how to pack. Whether you use a pack or duffel bag, always pack items inside other bags. This makes things easier to find. Items will also stay drier in rainy weather. Put clothing in one, toiletries with a small towel in another. Items like your flashlight, knife, insect repellant, etc. can be packed in another bag.

Your poncho and flashlight should be packed where they are easy to find.

Here is a list of the items you should have for every campout:

Class A scout uniform (always wear to and from events)

Backpack or Duffel bag (it is very difficult to backpack with a duffel bag).

Bible (your choice of version) will be used at Chapel on Sunday morning.
