Edward, Julia, guest Peter.
Adults: Frank, Betsy, Deana, Todd

Snow Snake: Edward finished sanding. On to Annika for paint and wax.
Winter Camporee: Went over gear list. It is under Resources. Key points:

1. Pack WED so you have time to correct any gear issues.
2. Chemical hand and body warmer (for sleeping bag) may be good especially if new to winter camping.
3. Travel in Class A
4. Layering order: wicking (get moisture away), thermal (trap warm air like down), shell (wind and moisture protection).
5. In cold weather, add thermal layers like polar fleece. 
6. Goal is to STAY DRY. Bring shell for bottom too. Take off layers when you warm up.
7. Some adds to the list: heavy camp coat (like capote), day pack, cleats (optional), snow shoes. shovel,
8. Remember crew green hat! Mandatory!
9. Cooking - Julia doing hot breakfast sat am. Everyone bring own dinner ( or eat before). Frank will coordinate further with scouts on meals. Everybody pack own lunch on Sat. Will have green camp stove for water. Personal white gas stoves a plus. Propone can be a problem in cold. 
10. Need 10 essentials for daytime at camporee. 
11. Snacks!
