Recommended Posts

We're new to cub scouts.  My DS is currently a Tiger scout.  If I understand correctly he moves up to wolf this spring.  I'm looking a the family camp weekend this summer.  What supplies would we need?  It says food is provided.  Tent, sleeping bags,...?

 

I camped in a tent once when I was little.  This is all new for me.

Your pack or the venue should provide lists of necessities, suggested extras, and don’t brings.

 

Our basics are:

 

Tent 

Ground cloth

Air mattress and pump or sleepin pad (recommended not required)

Sleeping bags or sheets and blankets (air mattresses are cold, put a blanket under the sheet if not using a sleeping bag)

Personal mess kit for each camper

Refillable water bottle

Daypack or string bag containing Cub Scout 6 essentials

Clothing, including sleepwear

A second pair of shoes

Cooler

Flashlights and/or headlamps

Hot dog/marshmallow sticks

Insect repellant

First aid kit

Toiletries

Any necessary medications

I agree the troop should provide the list.   I think it also depends on the comfort-level you require.   

 

I love the family camp-outs.   I think it is the best of both camping worlds, troop-only and individual family only.    We have a family tent, and there are instant playmates.   I especially like the instant playmates.  But, at night we all snuggle together in the same tent.
