Food

* The troop generally provides food for 4 meals, Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner, Sunday breakfast.  Each boy is
typically on his own for Friday night dinner when we depart.

One of the boys in the patrol will buy the food, normally as one of the first class requirements.  Each boy is responsible for
paying $10.00 the Monday before the trip to help with the cost of the food.  (There will either be a little more to pay or a
little money back depending on actual costs.)  
The Basics
What To Bring On Your First Campout

The Basics...
  • Scout Uniform see the
  • 3-ring zipper notebook with baseball-card plastic pages.  (The boys will need to keep records of their
    accomplishments as they earn badges and rank.  Your son will need to bring this notebook and his scoutbook to
    every scout meeting, so try to get a durable notebook and one big enough to fit the scout handbook inside.)
  • For Troop t-shirts and hats (Class B only...these cannot be purchased at the Boy Scout store and can only be
    purchased through the troop), see the Equipment Coordinator
