The following list will give you an idea of the basic items that are needed for a Lodge Weekend (Whether it's for Spring Fellowship, Fall Fellowship, an Induction Weekend or the Section Conclave). Naturally, the clothing list would change based on the weather forecast! Thus, a Scout should be prepared for rain or cold. (Isn't that the Scout Motto?)

• Personal Tent (Can be shared with a buddy)
• Plastic Ground Sheet for the Tent (4 X 8 feet is a good size)
• Sleeping Bag (Extra blankets if needed)
• Foam Sleeping Pad or a Therm-a-Rest
• Small Pillow
• Class A Uniform (Shirt, Pants, Socks, and Belt)
• Flashlight
• Water Bottle
• Rain Gear or Poncho
• Personal Hygiene Kit (Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Soap, Shampoo, Deodorant, Comb, etc)
• Towel & Washcloth (Showers are available in the warmer months)
• Extra Dry Clothes (T-Shirts, Pants, Socks, Underwear, Sweatshirts, etc)
• Work Clothes & Gloves
• Spending Money for the Trading Post (T-Shirts, Hats, Lodge Flaps, Cokes, Candy, etc)

All this can either be packed in a soft-sided duffel bag, a soft-sided suitcase, or a backpack. Typically, the campsites are not that far from the parking area.
