Kit list for Scouts, Cubs and Beavers (amend as appropriate to fit your needs)• Appropriate clothing for weather conditions both predicted and NOT predicted. Pack extra clothing in case scout becomes wet.
• Boots for Rain or Water Shoes in the summer.
• Bug Spray in summer
• Clothing - As a precaution, pack all clothes in large ziplock bags in case it rains. Some scouts will put together an outfit for each day - lay out your pants, place your shirt, underwear and socks in it and roll it up tightly. Place in a large ziplock storage bag. Each day, simply pull out one bag. If your backpack becomes wet from rain, all of your clothes will remain dry.
