Holiday gift idea and SPCA trip for Bears

Hi Pack 93 families,

Holiday time is here and  I wanted to send out a holiday gift idea list for our boys. These are not required, but hopefully you will find this list useful.

Headlamp for caves and camping

Compass

Flashlight

Beanie hat for camping (best way to keep them warm at night)

Camping spork  (fork spoon)

Camping dishes (Fozzil's solo pack is pretty cool)

Travel games (chess, checkers etc)

Small pair of binoculars

Sleeping bag (kids and womens bags are 10% warmer) If you want the bag to last them through to teenage, consider buying a womens bag. REI have a Kindercone, Oregon Outfitters and Backcountry are a little cheeper than REI.

Fishing rod (Scouting recommends "Ugly Stick", If you've never put the line on before, ask the store to do it for you, it's about five extra bucks and well worth the time and hassle) I got ours at Outdoor World.

Songs, skit and joke books, you can check out the selection at the Scout shop or amazon.

Hope this is helpful.

See the Bears at the SPCA Monday at 3:45pm

Thanks, Lucy,
