- First Aid Kit – A kit should include a few adhesive bandages, some moleskin (a sticky bandage that you can put over a blister to keep it from getting worse or rubbing), and a bandage or two.
- Filled Water Bottle – Make sure it is big enough to carry water for you to drink through your whole hike and back. And make sure it is full when you start out! It is not safe to drink water you find along the trail.
- Flashlight – Check your batteries to make sure they have plenty of juice. Your flashlight will be used only in an emergency, so save the batteries for times when you really need them!
- Trail Food – Trail mix or a granola bar provide quick energy when you need it.
- Sun Protection – Sunscreen should be SPF 30 or greater. A hat is good to have, too!
- Whistle – It's only for emergencies, but a whistle will last longer than your voice.
You are welcome to invite any friends and families with boys that are Cub Scout age (grades K-5). Please be sure to RSVP to let us know you are coming and how many guests to expect.
This is the first of a two part meeting in which we'll be completing the Baloo the Builder requirement. The boys will be introduced to hand tools, their care and workshop safety. in preparation for building a project in our follow up meeting, we'll be practicing techniques with 4 different hand tools; a ruler/square, a handsaw, a coping saw, and a hand drill/brace. The boys should brig their tool box that they built last year, along with a ruler, a pencil, and a Phillips head screw driver. If you have a square, a handsaw, or a coping saw, please bring that as well.
We'll be working in the area of my workshop where space is limited and expensive/potentially dangerous tools abound. So I ask that you be mindful of that in regards of bringing siblings.
Thanks in advance for your consideration and see you then,
Craig
