When I go on camping trips, there are always some boys who stay up late and are really loud. I always bring foam earplugs so I can get a good night’s sleep. They also work great as bobbers the next day when we go fishing.

   when i go camping i take a windable flashlight, it save me money on batteries and it is very light weight and saves me room.

   When I go camping I use Cat Tails for a fire starter. It is easy and faster. It goes Poof!

   Thanks a lot. The other boys in my troop are always the last ones asleep and the first ones up. They make a lot of noise in between.

    Usually the scouts in my troop don’t complain about the noise (unless they think they need somewhere quiet to read). We do a lot of card games

    put wood shavings in a dixie cup, then put melted wax in the cup; before the wax cools, put a short piece of a string a little bit into the wax. Then wait for the wax to cool then fold down the top. just light the fuse and you can make a fire quick and easy. Make in bulks and you should be set, it really works!
