Equipment

Bring normal car camping equipment.  Since this is a public troop activity, we prefer that the troop tents be used.

Uniforms

Class A uniforms (complete) are required for flag ceremonies, presentation of the Iron Chef cooking competition (dinner) on Saturday night and campfire, and the assembly on Sunday morning.  Scout T-shirts may be worn during other activities.

Food and Water

The troop has pre-purchased O/A Friday evening dinners for everyone.  Please bring $5.00 to reimburse the Troop for the prepayment.  The patrols will organize four meals: breakfast and lunch on Saturday and breakfast Sunday.  Patrols are preparing dinner Saturday evening for themselves and one Camporee judge for the Iron Chef Competition. 

Water is readily available - you must supply your own containers.
