To Bring

The Sand Hill Summer Camp Site™

2010 Unit Equipment

While most camp equipment is provided (tents, cots, bulletin board, etc.), your unit may want to bring other items to make your stay more comfortable. Suggested unit items include lanterns, flags, axe yard equipment, first aid kit, lashing rope, gateway equipment, alarm clock, games, merit badge pamphlets, paper and pens/pencils, etc. Units are also expected to bring a lot of Scout spirit.
