RE: [ScoutsCan-L] Re: Shelters for Camp

leaders enjoyed their coffee.

For general camping, our Cubs/Scouts/Venturers use large tarps suspended from trees. If we are in an open field, then we have a 10'x20' pop-up shelter and a...

The pop-shelters, at least the one we have, aren't good in a strong wind, even pegged down/out. But they are great for protection from the sun and rain...
