Camping Reminders



The 10 essentials all Scouts should have with them on Campouts:

  1. Mess kit
  2. Water bottle and/or hydration pack
  3. Pocketknife (Totin’ Chip required)
  4. Rain gear
  5. Flashlight / head lamp
  6. Layered clothing – jacket for cold nights
  7. First-aid kit
  8. Sun protection (Hat and sun screen) 
  9. Compass 
  10. Fire starter (Firem’n Chit required)


If you notice Tent/Rainfly damage on any future campouts, please set up and take photo of the tags on both with serial numbers and the type of damage and e-mail those to Wes Hunter please. That will greatly help with correcting these issues.




Scouts need to remember that electronics/phones are not allowed on campouts. If they are used on the ride there, they must be left in the vehicle that you rode in to the campout.

Scouts BSA Fair
