With good preparation camping in any weather is fun!
Packing for campouts always begins by looking at the weather forecast including the nighttime and morning temperatures. Choose clothing that can be layered and see clothing as a “clothing system” where multiple items can be layered and mixed. Have base, middle and outer layers. Regardless of forecast, always bring rain jacket, extra socks, warm hat, gloves and dry sleeping clothes.
A scout should think about the weather and pack his bag accordingly. Parents, your job is to audit their packing decisions by asking questions and providing suggestions when needed. A scout should gather everything they think they need for camp, and only then should a parent begin to provide guidance. Please, never pack your scout’s bag for them as this only delays their personal growth.
Remember, if you have a question, please ask your Patrol Leader or Scoutmaster.
