Camping Check List
Things to bring
Recommend using this list from Boys Life magazine to help make your check list. Just keep in mind for Cub Scout family camp outs we are at developed national forest or state park campgrounds. Unless otherwise noted there will be drinking water and toilets (but not necessarily flush). Also the Pack typically provides meals other than the first evening so you do not need to supply food or cookware other than your own snacks.
