Snapshot of adventure

You are about to go on an overnight campout. Sleeping in a tent, roasting marshmallows, and exploring nature are some of the best parts of being a Cub Scout. Before you go, make a list of what you need to bring. Your den leader and parent(s) will help you get ready. Each time you go camping, you can show you are a Wolf Scout by doing more on your own.
