SUMMER CAMP 2009

PACKING LIST

We look forward to having your son spend a week with us at camp. Pack everything in zip lockable baggies. The following is a list of what he should bring with him:

 • Enough clothes for a week at camp, including plenty of socks. We do a lot of walking and blisters are common.

• Closed-toe shoes are to be worn at all times, and a spare pair of shoes is important. Bring an old pair of shoes that can be thrown away for the Big Stump Trail hike.

• Field (“Class A”) uniform. A Scout should travel in field uniform, wear it to dinner each night, and have his photograph taken in it.

• Swim suit and towels

• Long pants and a long sleeved button up shirt for boys taking any of the aquatics merit badges.

• Toilet articles: soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, etc.

• Raincoat or poncho

• Flashlight

• Insect repellent

• Pocket knife

• Compass

• Sleeping bag or sheet and blanket. We will sleep on cots. Consider bringing a small mat to put on the cot and a pillow.

• Scout handbook, merit badge books, paper, and pens

• The troop is taking the Big Stump hike. Bring clothes and shoes that can be thrown away after this very muddy hike.

• Spending money (No large amounts of cash – suggest between $25 and $50)

• Locked trunk to store everything (or at least valuables).  Please use a combination lock and supply the 'bank' keeper with a copy of the combination.

Please don’t send unnecessary items to camp that might get broken, lost, or stolen. Label everything he does bring.

If you would like to write to your son, please address mail as follows:

Scout’s name
Troop 732
Winn-Dixie Scout Reservation
P.O. Box 323
Paisley, FL 32767

Thursday night is parents’ night. For a $6 charge, you are welcome to have dinner with your son and see a special program. Cub Scouts in uniform eat free. You may purchase dinner upon arrival.

Thanks for letting your son have the opportunity to attend camp.
