Ever wonder what to give a member of Scouting
for Christmas, Birthday, or what equipment they will need as they
progress through Scouting's many sections? Look no further! Some
items may not be age appropriate this year, or even next, but the
list is what a Scout would like to have on a camping, canoeing or
hiking adventure. These are suggestions, it is
not a checklist of required equipment! |
