Camping and sample packing lists
We are Boy Scouts. We Camp. That's What We Do!
Troop 35 camps at least one weekend every month, every month of the year. We have campgrounds that we visit every year and others that we may only visit once every few years.
During the scouting year the troop participates in community events, high/low adventure trips and monthly camping outings. The Events/Activities page of this web-site describes the Troop 35 activities planned for the scouting year. General information about each activity is provided in the description section. Any question regarding a planned activity should be directed to the adult event coordinator. Any suggestions for additional activities should be brought up for discussion at the monthly PLC meeting.
