Boy Scout Summer Camp Rant (JAWM, okay?) -- Updated

I'm in the "easier to get forgiveness than permission" camp. Try to find used hiking boots (friends, goodwill, etc) or hiking sneakers that 'look' boot-like. Ignore the shorts/t-shirts guidelines, and borrow (or hit up a surplus store) an Army duffel. It'll hold everything a footlocker will but it's not expensive like a fancy backpack. Ask yourself, what's the worst that can happen? Odds are if you go insane and jump every hoop you'll be livid when you learn that most people ignored them.

My boys only changed clothes at scout camp if they got wet.  They came home smelly and it was just fine.

 

They have always been required to use backpacks for camp - both in American Scouts and UK scouts - but a last-minute demand is not reasonable.  They have never been required to own more than a scout shirt, necker and woggle, with (in Scotland) some form of kilt as smart wear - we bought them kilts at Aldi.

Kilts at Aldi!  :D Who knew?
