Scout and Parents;
   I wanted to touch base with all of you about the summer trip. All plans have been made with room for changes as things come about. The plans are to meet at the Act.Ctr. at 8:00 AM on the 23rd and pack so we can be on the road by 9:00 am. We are looking at a 7 hour drive to our camp site. We will stop for lunch along the way.
  All meals will be prepared in the camp site with the help from everyone. A duty roster will be made so that all will know what and when they have duty.
   Sunday the plan is to drive into D.C. to watch a Washington National ball game, then return to camp for supper. Lunch will be eaten before we leave for the game. If you want any snacks at the game please bring money.
  Both Monday and Tuesday are scheduled for the National Jamboree. Bag lunches will be prepared before departure. Our plans are to spend as much time there as possible. Once again if you want any souvenirs please bring money.
   Wednesday has been set aside to be a wash day. This way you do not have to pack as much.
   We will vist the aviation museum on Thursday . This is on the base we are staying on. That afternoon we will return to D.C. for a Marine Corp. parade.
    Friday is set aside to finish seeing what we have missed and also do some swimming. Friday night we will go out to eat .
  Saturday we will pack up and head home.
   I have suggested that gear be packed in a plastic locker for easy transport and weather safe. These can be found at Space-Savers on Floral Pkwy across the street from Pier One.Those that can be locked may be best.
  The following is a suggested list of gear:

sleeping bag and pad
class A uniform ( a must for all scouts)
2 pair of comfortable shoes
sunscreen
bug spray
flash light (extra batteries)
4 shorts
4 shirts (scout tees if possible)
4 pair of socks
watch
4 sets of under wear
personel hygiene products
2 towels and wash cloths
T.P.
hat
swim trunks
shower shoes
MONEY
sweatshirt or light jacket
