The troop camps year-round. For cold-weather camping, additional equipment is necessary. With proper equipment, cold-weather camping does not mean being cold. The sleeping bag should be rated for about +20 degrees, or a liner or cover for the regular bag can work. Warm footgear is essential. Tennis shoes with snow boots do not work. Good insulated boots are best. Socks should have no cotton content. Socks should be of wool or synthetic pile. Polypropylene or silk sock liners help a lot. Bring plenty of extra socks. Clothing should consist of three layers. None of the layers should be cotton if possible. The inner layer should wick moisture away from the skin (polypropylene underwear works well). The second layer should trap an air layer (pile and fleece work well). The outer layer should stop the wind (Nylon is good). A good hat and gloves finish the outfit. Wind-resistance is a good feature. Bring extra hats and gloves, because with Scouts, these tend to get wet and/or lost.
