Weather

Remember to dress in layers and be prepared for all kinds of weather. Add warm clothing, including sweatshirt, cap and gloves, if the weather is expected to be cold. Check the weather where you will be camping, not where you live. Do not assume it will be the same!

Tent

It is recommended that a tent large enough to accomodate your whole family comfortably should be used for this campout.  Only Webelos 2 Cub Scouts will be allowed to sleep in their own tents, however only the one Cub Scout is allowed to sleep in the tent and these tents should be next to the Webelos 2′s parent’s tent.  No Cub Scout will be allowed to sleep in another family’s tent without prior consent from the Cubmaster.
