4th year is a BIG deal!! Overnight hike!! And a successful hike requires good preparation.
Pack 2 sets of gear - hike gear & gear for the rest of the week (what's on the packing list)
On Monday, you will be dropped off all your gear at the administration building by the pool. Your gear for the week will stay there while you go on the hike, so pack your hike gear separately.
Hike Gear -
The key is to remember that things need to be LIGHTWEIGHT.
The girls will need:
* Frame Backpack (a bookbag with a sleeping bag tied on won’t work–there should be enough scouts in our wards to find some to borrow)
* Lightweight Backpacking tent to share (they can find a buddy and each carry part of the tent)
* PONCHO (in case of rain)
* Lightweight sleeping bag/sheet and blanket for a bedroll
* SMALL flashlight–(leave those huge ones with all the double D batteries back at camp)
* Mess kit (We will need to boil water for our dinner)
*toilet paper
*baby wipes
Remember to walk, walk, walk. Climb as many stairs as possible.
