Things to remember for the Fall 2022 Cub/Parent Weekend

• At Check-In, you will receive a packet – be sure to read the “Safety Rules” enclosed.
• Adults must know where youth are at all times
• Alcohol of any kind is always prohibited. Smoking in designated areas only.
• Store all food in your site in a closed container.

Camping

• Every effort will be made to group Pack members together in the same campsite.
• Gear should be packed in a tote or 1 bag – pack carefully and conservatively. It is very difficult when folks have several individual bags or stacks of blankets. Below is a list of suggested gear.
• All gear should be marked with name and Pack # and organized before your arrival.
• Each Pack is responsible for hauling all their gear in one vehicle or trailer to the campsite.
• No vehicles will be allowed to stay in the campsites. Trailers may be parked at the site (or close).
• Bring a simple first aid kit for your Pack. Good idea to have a packet of “baby wipes”.
• ABSOUTELY NO HEAT SOURCES ALLOWED IN SLEEPING AREAS – BSA POLICY

Meals & Fires

Each Pack is responsible for cooking their own meals. We provide a Saturday afternoon snack.

• There should be water available for your use – we’ll let you know if this changes.
• Remember no eating in any sleeping areas. Any “smellables” must be in a closed container.
• You provide fuel for cooking; be sure to follow The Guide for Safe Scouting standards.
• If you bring firewood for a campfire, talk to the other Pack members attending -- don’t need 2 or 3 folks each bringing a “truck load” of wood for 1 night!
• All fires must be attended and “cold-out” at night.

Gear (Remember it is just a weekend event!)

• Tent with waterproof ground cloth (Make sure tent is waterproof – if new, try putting it up before the weekend.) Platforms are 7’x9’ and a few sites have open areas for larger tents.
• Sleeping bag (if summer bag, bring a liner or use blanket as liner), pad, camping pillow
• Sleeping pad (There will be no mattresses on bunk beds in Adirondacks or cabins.)
• Dress in layers (t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt and/or jacket, long pants, long underwear)
• Socks and Underwear – 2-3 pairs of each
• Comfortable shoes (extra pair if looks like rain) – no crocks please
• Sleeping clothes (pjs or sweatpants and shirt –something clean and dry to wear at night)
• Hat/cap and gloves if cool
• Can bring Cub Scout or Leader Uniform shirt for Sun. Chapel. No need to bring neckerchief
• Toiletries • Water Bottle with name • Rain Gear
• Flashlight/Headlight with new batteries. If you bring a lantern remember to follow standards in The Guide To Safe Scouting. Best if battery operated.

Note about not having a tent: If you do not have a tent, please communicate that on the registration form. Be aware that Adirondacks with bunk beds have 3 closed sides and 1 open side. There are bunk beds, but no mattresses on them. Some bunks have a plywood bottom and some have springs.
