At the end of his journey through scouting, each scout should be a true leader. As the scout law states, a scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. It is quite clear that the boy scout program was made to teach young boys moral values so they can grow to be good citizens and respected adults. We hope that your son will blossom into a leader and a wise man with a bright future ahead of him. After all, of the twenty-four men who stepped foot on the moon from the Apollo 9 through Apollo 17 missions 21 were scouts, including Neil Armstrong.

You must always pack light for a camping trip. For a weekend trip away from home you won't be needing fifteen shirts, twelve pairs of jeans and thirty pairs of underwear. You should only pack the necessities. About two or three t-shirts, pants, one or two pairs, underwear, three pairs, three pairs of wool socks, soap, and personal gear such as a mess kit. Keep in mind that you will be carrying your pack at least as far as the campsite which can be quite far. On some backpacking trips you may even need to wear the same outfit for a week just to carry all the troop supplies! Also, you should decide what to pack according to the weather. You should check the weather forecast before going on a trip. If it'll be cold, pack a warm jacket and some thermal underwear, if it's hot, pack t-shirts and shorts or cargo pants. NO JEANS for hot weather.
