deer. We will be completing the requirements needed
to complete the Try-Its and Badges, but we do not

other Interest Patches offered.

Gym shoes or hiking boots are recommended in the
summer.
Winter may require hiking boots for warmth. No sandals
or dress shoes allowed.

base layer a long sleeve top, a sweater and a jacket.
Add additional layers for
winter and subtract layers for summer.
Hats, gloves, and wool socks
These essentials can easily be added to your day
