Be sure to eat dinner before arriving on Friday evening.

If it might rain, be sure to bring rain gear and an extra pair of shoes or boots that can get muddy.

We might be setting up in the dark, so be sure to bring a flashlight or headlamp.
Be at the Legion by 5:30pm on Friday.

For new scouts parents – the scouts sleep in troop tents, two to a tent. Each adults typically sleeps in his own personal tent. Some adults prefer to borrow a troop tent to sleep in. If you need to borrow a troop tent, please let us know.
