| Please join us for an all-day clinic on how to develop character and leadership skills in Scouts and Scouters through backpacking lighter. Bring your own pack fully loaded and we will show you how to do a complete “Pack Makeover” that will help you reduce your pack weight down to 10-12 lbs. without compromising safety or comfort. | |

This clinic will go into details on the “Big Three”, sleep, shelter and pack systems. There will be awesome demonstrations on gear with tents, tarps, packs, cook systems, footwear, and food. There will be a whole section on making your own gear and how to pack lighter on a minimal budget. How to pack lighter for Philmont will be discussed in detail. There will be raffles throughout the day for some really cool gear. This clinic will be delivered in the full context of BSA’s Guide to Safe Scouting.
