A number of personal items for camping should also be secured to assure a positive camping experience for your son:

Scout Handbook                              Air Mattress (or pad)
Poncho / Raincoat                            Canteen
Flashlight                                        Duffle Bag or Back Pack
Sleeping Bag *                                Pen Knife

     * On most occasions, a medium duty sleeping bag is adequate, but a bag with a twenty or zero degree rating should be considered for winter camp-outs.  These are available at L.L.Bean.

Please mark all Uniforms and personal clothing and equipment with an indelible marker.

We do have a shelf of used uniforms which are available.  If you grow out of a uniform, once clean you may add it to the shelf.
