One of the things all Scouts look forward to in Cub Scouts is CAMPING and it's almost time!
Make plans to join us for our fall Family Camp Out October 22-24.
Are you a little “camping-shy”? Don’t let it hold you back!! Do it for your Scout– they’ll love you for it!!
And, unless you have an open-ended bank account, don't run out and buy every piece of gear you think you need at REI (but if you just want to, please let me know and I'll give you my list, too!)
The best thing to do when starting to acquire gear is to start small and simple so that you can discover what your family needs... grow from there. There are plenty of seasoned camping veterans in our pack that have gear to spare so don't hesitate to put the word out if you need to borrow something.
To begin, you need something to sleep IN, something to sleep ON, something to wear, personal toiletries and light. (Oh... and toilet paper! Don't forget the toilet paper! That's definitely something you never want to not have and need.)
Cub Scout family camping is also referred to as "car camping." With a large enough vehicle, you're fortunate enough to be able to take just about everything AND the kitchen sink with you. But for the amount of time you'll be there, it's really not necessary. Though, a few creature comforts are definitely worth it!
Camping is definitely one of the highlights of any Cub Scout's year. Campouts are fun occasions where we get to come together as a Unit and we all have a blast. We have food and fun -- what more can you ask for?
Be sure to complete the registration link below by Friday, October 15, to ensure you are signed up for this event! Payment is due then as well.
