Pack 475 Camping Guide

This guide is here to help new and experienced family’s make sure they have everything they need for an excellent family camping experience. While not all items listed are required, it never hurts to come prepared.

In the interest of being environmentally responsible as a pack, this year we are requiring that all attending bring their own mess kit for meals and drinks. We also ask that all attending bring there own drinking vessels. There will be a wash station to clean used dishes and cups. If you have any questions please contact your den leader.
