Supplies

Most meetings do not require supplies from home, but at each meeting we do ask the scouts to wear a uniform and have a adult present. Children should wear their Cub Scout shirt, pants with belt loops and shoes or sneakers. Flip Flops and gym shorts look funny with the uniform shirt.

One item you may need every year is a current photo of your child. This photo will  be used in a craft project. Typically these crafts are scout or family themed, so almost any current photo will do. 

As we get into the planning of meetings and projects, we may put out a call for supplies and will update this page accordingly.

Our Pack LOVES to camp. We have 2-3 trips per year weather permitting. The cost of Fall and Winter camp is roughly $30-$50 per scout and adult.

Summer camp is completely different from our pack level trips. Its much more intense than a weekend outing and runs from Thursday to Sunday in July. This years theme is "Safari".

As Fall and Winter camp approach, we will put out a list of supplies. For our pack level camp outing, uniforms are not suggested. Typically, fall and winter camp trips last three days: Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday morning.

This is a generic list of items for camping:

Sleeping bag,
Sheet for cot,
Pillow,
Flashlight and extra batteries,
One change of clothes per day,
Hiking boots,
Shoes for in the cabin,
Large bag or large backpack,
Water bottle,
2 gallons of water per camper.

We discourage electronic devices for scouts AND adults. Electricity is often limited and the cabins often are unlocked. Phones are welcome for adults, but sometimes signal is hard to get.

Our camping trips are limited to the Scout and require at least one adult guardian for your child. There are Council sponsored family camping events every fall and spring. Information can be found on http://www.wnyscouting.org.
