Massawepie Tip of the Day #10 - Packing Your Gear

If you're like most, you've put off packing until the day before you leave.

It's a great idea to pack everything yourself.

Mom and Dad can help gather everything on the equipment list but you should do the packing,

That way you know what you have and where everything is.

Pack securely so nothing is lost or separated.

Be sure and put your name and Troop number on everything...that way if someone finds it, they know where to return it.

These related tips come from Mr. Al Hellaby:

"Things get miss placed at camp. Leave the valuable stuff at home. Game boys, jewelry, High tech items.

Adults should put spare key to their vehicle some were on the out side of the vehicle should they loose their key. It has happened.

Also leave your wallet and check book in the glove box. Get a second wallet to carry a minimum of cash and not run the risk of loosing everything.

Boys should bring their spending money in smaller bills and not large ones that will be hard to exchange."

This one came from both Mr. Matthew Arlauckas and Mr. Joe Hellaby:

"Gold Bond!"

'nuff said.

This concludes my Tip of the Day series. If I have any ideas or reminders, I will be sure to email you in a timely fashion. Otherwise, I will see you bright and early this coming Saturday morning at the Legion.
