Mosquito Netting
We'll be staying in open-walled canvas tents without built-in mosquito netting, so scouts might want to bring their own in order to sleep comfortably at night.
Pop-up mosquito nets are available from several different vendors for about $50. The cost is a bit more, but you get easy setup and versatile use because it is self-supporting.

Suspended nets can be found from camping stores and at Army surplus stores. Cost ranges between $15 and $40 depending on quality. Look for one that has enough length to go completely under the cot to prevent insects from coming up underneath it.
​
The camper in the picture to the left has suspended their net from the tent. Far left is an example of homemade PVC frames.
Foot Lockers
A plastic tote will allow your scout to keep their gear dry and secure, while making searches for that one special item a bit easier than when they use a backpack.
​
Bring a simple combination lock on a wire. Just enough to be secure, but not something with keys (that can get lost) or advance combinations (that can be forgotten).
​
The photo at right is of a typical model at WalMart for around $30. There are many similar versions, all will work.
​
It should fit in their tent under the bunk or at the foot.
