18th NIAGARA WOLF CUBS

WINTER KIT LIST

Dear Parents,

The following is the kit list for the winter camp.  Please do not forget to help your cub check his gear before camp to ensure that everything on the kit list has been packed, and that nothing has been added or left out, (by mistake of course)

 

Please note that it is the responsibility of the cub’s parent to label each article of clothing with the cub’s name.  (Initials don’t work; we have several cubs with the same set of initials)

 

 

Clothing:

Warm pajamas, (a tracksuit is preferable.)

3 pair of underwear, (in addition to the ones worn to camp)

3 pair of warm socks

3 tee shirts,

2 sweatshirts (a hooded sweatshirt is a blessing at times)

1 pair of sweat pants, (for outdoor wear, not for sleeping)

1 pair of jeans or play slacks (in addition to those worn to camp)

1 pair of winter boots. (Rubber boots do not keep the feet warm for very long)

1 pair of running shoes (for indoor use)

1 pair of long underwear (in can get cold outside)

A lightweight poncho or rain suit.  (We will be outside for most of the weekend, in spite of the weather.)

A woolen toque or winter hat which covers the ears

1 pair of woolen mittens.

1 lightweight jacket or windbreaker, large enough to wear a sweatshirt under.

1 coat hanger (also labeled with cub’s name)

 

Bedding:

Sleeping bag, (or two heavy blankets)

Plastic ground sheet; (garbage bags are too slippery)

Bubble pad or foam pad

Extra blanket (to put under the sleeping bag)

Pillow and pillowcase

 

Medication:

 

All medications must be handed to the scouter in charge of medications on Friday night.  The medication should be in the package or bottle it was purchased in, and should be clearly marked with the camper’s name.  The medication {s) should be placed in a zip lock baggie with written instructions as to amount, times to be taken and reactions to look for.  Please be sure that the owner’s name and directions for administering the medication are visible from the outside of the bag.
