Try to keep it simple. A Girl Scout trip is not a slumber party where you can try out all your latest make-up and gadget finds. Please do not wear or bring scented things like perfume or hairspray that attract insects. When we are tent camping, aerosol products must never be used in or near tents because they ruin the waterproofing. If you bring sandals, please only bring the Teva-type sports sandals, not flip-flops. Please remember that all medicines and written dosage instructions must be put in charge of a Troop First Aider before we leave. If girls bring food on the trip, we ask that it be stored in the kitchen area, but we'd much rather they don't bring it. Also, your fearless troop advisors think that bringing electronic games and sound equipment is rather defeating the purpose of going camping, so please don't bring them.
