That means rain gear, extra shoes and socks, etc. The Troop will provide Patrol Gear, which includes cooking gear, tarps, and stoves. Scouts must bring their own mess kits, eating utensils, and other personal gear. Since this is a bike trip, bicycles are necessary. Mountain bikes are recommended but all bikes must have multiple gears to accommodate hilly conditions.
Bike helmets are an absolute requirement for participation.
We are performing bike inspections at the April 12 th and 19 th Troop meetings. The meals for the trip are being planned at the Troop level and food will be purchased for the entire group by the Troop. Scouts may bring their own snacks for the ride down and back and for the activity itself. We discourage the boys from bringing sodas, unless it's for the trip down and back. Water and juice drinks will be available at the campsite.
