AnniePoo 13 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hello all from Wisconsin. I'm the committee chair for a pack of around 50 Cub Scouts, and discovered this forum last month. Prior to signing up as a Tiger leader and kool-aid lady three years ago, I knew nothing about scouts. This forum has a lot of great information. I'm going to be coordinating the purchase of additional camping equipment for our pack, and have a question about dining canopies & rain flies. What types of shelters & dining/cooking canopies do all of you use for your packs and troops? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
RememberSchiff 3663 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 When in Cubs, first try borrowing outdoor gear from a Scout troop (along with a couple of their scouts to erect flies). Maybe you could borrow some E-Z Up or similar canopies from Pack families? Buying gear obviously costs $$$, then there is the storage and upkeep. Link to post Share on other sites
jaxvol 10 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I would agree -- borrow from Troop. As an alternative I think good old Walmart "blue tarps" work well. You can just get a couple 2x2's at the lumber yard for poles and your set. That is what our Troop uses. Even in put away damp they won't be ruined. A Scout is Thrifty...
