Premise:

Gear:
Clothing: A Scout always travels in Class A, so wear it Friday. For the rafting a swimsuit should be worn with shorts over the top. Shoes that are attached to your feet and can get wet are required! No Crocs in the river. Either sandals that attach firmly to your feet or old tennis shoes that can and will get wet. The weather will be mild otherwise, but always bring your rain jacket.
Sleeping gear: Sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and fitted sheet (optional) . We will be sleeping in a bunk room style building. This is a car camping trip, but pack carefully. Everything you bring should fit into one duffel or backpack.
Other gear: Bring your mess kit and utensils. Headlamp. Towel and toiletries. Cards or small games, and a book.
