Backpacking
-
Backpacking is a very gear-specific type of camping.
-
Scouts must have a backpack to carry all their gear and should not carry anything in their hands.
-
They also need to have good hiking shoes.
-
Before purchasing anything, please let the troop leadership know your needs and we may be able to lend scouts the gear they need!
Weather
-
Be Prepared
-
Could rain; could be nice. It's Oregon. Bring the 10 essentials!

Fishing License (if you're 12+ and plan to fish)

SAFETY PROMISE
Our adult leaders promise to monitor all the scouts and look out for their safety. If we feel at anytime it is unsafe to camp because of conditions, we will not hesitate to cancel the trip and come home.
