Camping tips:
The troop committee finalizes reservations about 1-2 months before the actual trip. The boys finalize the menus and activity planning at the regular troop meeting 1 week before the trip (10 days).
The troop provides cooking gear and we ask the boys to bring tent, sleeping bag, scout handbook, uniform and clothing appropriate to the weather.
