*Items to bring:*
– Class A and Class B clothing. – See the Scout packing list your Scouts brought home. I have attached it here for your reference as well. It’s a great learning experience for your Scout to pack their gear so please do your best to let them use their packing list to pack their gear. – Also, if your son enjoys fishing, this would be a great one to bring fishing gear as there are numerous available locations and there will be some collective activities around fishing. It’s not required but would be a good opportunity for them if they have equipment.
Thank you for encouraging and supporting your Scout to attend.
Warm Regards,
Nathan Crouch
Troop 45
