Packing Tips
- Pack your gear for a 3-day camping trip, including food.
- You do not need to pack your backpack; instead, a duffle bag lined with a garbage bag will work perfectly.
- The Troop will provide each patrol with enough tents; each member (or the Patrol as a whole) must pack everything else.
- The activities this weekend will absolutely require you to bring first aid kit, compass, and mess kit.
- Remember you will need to have a Patrol-wide meal plan in place for 6 meals (Lunch and Dinner Friday; Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Saturday; Breakfast and Lunch Sunday).
