Six Essentials

Cub Scouts thrive in the great outdoors. Whenever they head out on an adventure, there are six key items they should always bring along - known as the Cub Scout Six Essentials.

Before heading out, Scouts should pack these essentials into a small backpcak or day bag so they're always ready for the trail. Cubs should be able to carry this bag. Learing to be responsible for their own gear builds confidence, independence, and preparedness, turning every outing into a chance to grow!

Some of these items can be found at the Dollar Tree. Trail food, can be a trial mix made of the Scout's favorite snacks.
