 NOTES

Mark all clothing – especially socks with a waterproof laundry marker
or iron on labels.

boots) are valuable during rain storms.

PUT YOUR NAME AND JAMBOREE TROOP NUMBER ON

EVERYTHING YOU OWN USING A WATERPROOF MARKER.

Bring a roll of toilet paper incase supply gets short.

Pack toiletries together to go – using several small containers in case
