MAINE JAM'07 DETAILS Below is the packing list for the Maine Jam. We are all going to meet at Patty Olsen’s house, 1 Quarry Drive (1st on left when turning onto Quarry from RT 236), at 6:30 PM on Thursday October 18 to drop off our gear. There will be a quick packing shakedown. We have borrowed an enclosed trailer, which we will load up that night.

Everyone should meet at the Rod and Gun Club at 4PM on Friday October 19. We will make any last minute adjustments, load up and head to camp.

WE WOULD LIKE EACH FAMILY TO SEND A SNACK TO SHARE, WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN ABUNDANT VARIETY FOR ALL.

EACH SCOUT SHOULD BRING $$ FOR OPTIONAL LUNCH, SNACKS, TRADING POST, ETC.

AFTER THE EQUIPMENT LIST IS THE MENU FOR THE WEEKEND. THE ADULTS WILL BE TAKING CARE OF MOST OF THE MEAL PREPARATION SO THE SCOUTS CAN ENJOY EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON!

Here is a list of equipment recommended for a fall jamboree. It will probably be cold and wet... Perfect weather for a camp-out!

• 1 pair long johns (not cotton if possible)
• 2 pairs of long pants
• 2 pairs of underwear
• 1 winter coat (it gets cold in the evening)

• 2-3 garbage bags (just in case!)
• toiletries
• 1 flashlight with an extra set of batteries

  The boys may wish to bring an extra blanket or a fleece sleeping bag liner (available at Wal-Mart for 10-15 dollars). Sweat pants and shirt are good to sleep in.
