Camporee packing list!!

Camporee details!

On Saturday, April 26th, the girls should be at Bojangles in Hillsborough at 6:00 am with money to buy breakfast or breakfast.  Even if the girl has breakfast, they need to be there at 6:00 so we can get all of the gear loaded, make sure everyone is fed, has taken a bathroom break and are ready to go on time. We plan to pull out between 6:30-6:45 (preferably closer to 6:30).

Camporee Packing List- Girls

*Day pack for carrying items while away from the campsite. (A very small backpack or drawstring bag that can be put on their back is best) *This will hold their small flashlight, water bottle, poncho, snack and personal first aid kit (if the scout wants) and lip balm

*Water bottle with their name clearly labeled on it (send it full)

*Sleeping bag- an outdoor sleeping bag (the ones that have pictures, etc. are not warm enough)

*Small pillow and an extra blanket.  One small “fluffy friend” if needed to sleep.

*Flashlight (given to the girls at meeting)

*Booklight and book as well as camera -optional (preferably a camera, not a phone or ipod with photo capability)

*Pajamas- Long sleeves and Long legs (Not satiny, no nightgowns)- Sweatsuit is fine

*Change of clothes- Pack for the weather. Pants/capris/shorts, short-sleeve shirt for the day, bring a sweatshirt or light jacket for the evening.  If not wearing pants, be sure to bring pants in case the evening is chilly.  Also be sure to pack underwear and extra socks!  Each outfit can be packed in a gallon ziploc bag to keep them dry (not required).  Also- make sure your daughter packs the bag with you!  (The first thing girls do if they don’t know what is in them is pull everything out!) (Wear one of your troop shirts and pack the other)  Please send your daughter in black stretchy pants or capris (depending on the weather and their comfort).

*Warm hat (fleece or knitted)

*Heavy sweatshirt or jacket

*Closed toed shoes- sneakers are best.  No flip flops, open toed shoes or crocs.  Either 2 pair of sneakers or 1 pair and a pair of rainboots or water shoes (one pair WILL most likely get wet, please plan accordingly. This pair should be the spare as we will change at lunch).  You may send a pair of crocs or slip on shoes for bathroom runs at night, but this cannot count towards the two pair of closed toe shoes needed.

*Poncho or waterproof windbreaker- type jacket

*Toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, personal towel, something to keep hair out of the girls’ face (headband, ponytail holders, hair clips, etc.), lip balm, sunscreen, insect repellent, deodorant (if they wear it)

*Bandana and Mess kit are troop provided and we will bring

*****Medications- If your daughter takes prescription medications, bring them Saturday morning in their original packaging and placed in a ziploc baggie.  These medications should NOT be placed in the girls’ bag and we should be aware of instructions, etc.  They should NOT be packed in the child’s bag, they should be given to Melissa Wagner (our troop first aider for this trip).

*****DO NOT SEND any electronics or additional food with your scout.

Reminder that swimming has been cancelled, so the girls do not need bathing suits (it's actually preferable if they do not bring them, even for canoeing).
