Safety is the first concern for every Scout, every adult leader and every parent involved with Troop 119.
And when it comes to camping, safety starts with being prepared, which includes being properly equipped and trained to deal with changing weather an other unexpected circumstances one encounters in the outdoors.
Regarding equipment, Scouts should use this packing list to make sure they are ready for a trip. This guide to winter camping safety also provides additional tips for enjoying cold-weather trips.
Scout training prepares scouts to make their way and, if need be, survive in the outdoors. And adult leaders are trained in first aid and other safety skills.
Special packing instructions for specific activities (like boating or backpacking trips) will be announced at troop meetings preceding those trips. If Scouts have questions about what's expected from them, they should direct their questions to the Senior Patrol Leader. Parents with questions can talk to any adult leader.
