We are looking forward to our campout this weekend.
I have attached a PDF camping list to help the scouts get ready for the campout.
Please know that scouts will be tenting with scouts so not everyone needs a tent.
Also, not every item has to be brought to the campout. I would focus on those items you feel are essential and can be found around the house or purchased at Walmart.
Finally, we are looking at lows in the upper 50s with highs near 80. With these temps, scouts will be able to utilize sleeping gear they can find around the house.
PLEASE have scouts bring water bottles as hydration is key.
I have four adults who will be at the campsite until dinner and two adults staying with the scouts overnight on Friday and Saturday.
If you want to participate as an adult, please let me know by noon tomorrow so that we can purchase enough food for dinners and breakfast. Everyone is responsible for their own lunch on Saturday. Please send me an email at
nick.ragsdale@belmont.edu so we know you will be attending and can anticipate your length of stay.
