Troop 68 Campouts

Campouts are an integral part of the BSA program and it is not possible to advance in rank without regularly attending them. The boys must be prepared for the campout and special arrangements must be made if the Scout cannot attend the two meetings immediately prior to the campout. The boys plan their menus and duty rosters at least two weeks in advance of a trip, as well as often receiving critical instruction on dressing, equipping and packing for the upcoming trip. This is most important for cold weather campouts.
