TROOP 547 Weekend Camping Packing List
As a precaution, we recommend you pack all clothes in large zip-lock bags in case it rains. Some scouts will put together an outfit for each day – lay out your pants, place your shirt, underwear and socks in it and roll it up tightly. Place in a large zip-lock storage bag. Each day, simply pull out one bag.
