Looks like a total of 29 going on the trip and therefore we only need to take 4 vehicles - Bates (5), Bonney (8), Watt (8) & Lander (8) can transport our needs. When we travel we minimize the number of cars on the road for safety and BSA insurance purposes. If I miss counted seatbelts, we'll add a car. This is a one night trip, so the boys don't need to take much but make sure they each have a sleeping bag. If your boys like to shower, they should bring a towel, if not, they can shower when they get home. Please have the boys pack in small duffle bags to minimize space. NO ELECTRONICS OF ANY KIND ARE ALLOWED ON ANY TRIP, THIS INCLUDES MOBILE PHONES, IPODS, RADIOS, PSP'S,ETC. (just for the boys, I don't care what the dads bring). When we camp, it is an outdoor experience but the boys need to talk to each other on trips and not be involved in their electronic community. The leaders will have mobile phones in the event of an emergency. Should you have any questions, please let me know.
