Subject: Backpacking


OK, here's the deal. I'm about to start teaching a young Troop about
backpacking. By young I mean that only two are 14 (none older) and
only 5 within 2 years of being 14 (old enough to go to Philmont in
2000). I don't have a lot of experience but I have a great resource
(SCOUTS-L)!

Two questions immediately come to mind:

1. What should I tell them (where to start)?
2. What should be in every scouts backpack?

I have my own ideas on both of these questions but I want to hear more.
