What to Bring Camping

When planning what to take camping or hiking we should always start with the basics of taking care of yourself outdoors.

  • Always Be Prepared
  • Talk to Akela about what you need to bring
  • Never go anywhere alone.  Always have a buddy.
  • Always carry the seven items below.

What you have above, is the basics necessary for taking care of yourself outdoors. It is vital to always have the above with your regardless of the activity type you are participating in.  Now for our camping trip the following items, in addition to the items above, are necessary for this weekend to be a successful and safe weekend.

Cub Scout Camping Checklist

Camping Trip – Last Call

Cub Scout Pack 155 Tent CampingWe have not yet received confirmation from all families regarding the Camping Trip two weeks from now. We need confirmation from all families whether or not you will be attending and whether you will be coming up only for the day or to spend the night.  We need an accurate head count for food as well as for the State of Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

I will be finishing up the paperwork and mailing it out to the Park Ranger on Saturday the 14th and we must have a headcount no later than Friday April 13th.

Once I provide the headcount to the park ranger, I will be unable to add people to the list. So it is of utmost important that if your son plans on spending the night at the park you email me as soon as possible at cubmaster -at- cubscoutpack1776.org  or by using the form on the ‘Contact Us’ page with an exact number of how many will be attending.

The cost is $15 per person (not per scout) and will be collected on Monday April 16th.

As a reminder, please be sure to bring the completed health form, parts A & B with you on Monday the 16th. This is required in order to go on the camping trip.  One is attached to this message.

April Camping Trip: Health Forms & More

Two weeks ago we distributed health forms at the parent meeting.  All but one family was in attendance so all but one should have their forms.  We have not yet received any of these forms back.  These forms are mandatory for insurance purposes and are required before participation in pack outings is allowed.  Please have these forms with you on Monday April 2nd, one is attached to this post for your reference in case you lost the original.

In addition we need to turn in a final headcount to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PA DCNR) as soon as possible since we are having at overnight event in a state park that normally does not permit such.  This is also necessary to put together a proper food list.   Due to our not having a meeting on April 9th for Easter Monday, we will need your final decision on Monday April 2nd.  Once we finalize the headcount we will be unable to add additional people due to state requirements.

The cost of the trip, to cover the cost of food and supplies, is $15 per person over scouting age.  There will NO CHARGE for “pack buddies”, who we will define as siblings under scouting age.  Siblings of scouting age and adults are required to pay.  All monies for the camping trip are due no later than Monday April 16th.

We will be publishing a list of items you should have as well as a rough itinerary in the next week.  Please plan now to have a tent.
