    For example:  If you want to play cards and specific board games or video games - then bring them.  It's always best to coordinate with the rest of the troop to see who is bringing what.  You may bring a video game and nobody else brought the console, or there are not enough controllers, or TVs.  Ahhhhhhh - the humanity.  What shall we ever do without mind-numbing video games.

    Things you can bring:

    • Cell Phones
    • Video Games (and all necessary equipment)
    • Board Games
    • Cards
    • Books
    • A comfortable change of clothes for the night (unless you want to wear what you came in all night - nobody will care)
    • Sleeping attire/gear (if you want to sleep that is)
    • Personal hygiene (toothbrush/toothpaste/etc.) - unless you want to smell
    Things you MUST bring:
    • Money for food (unless paid ahead of time)
    • Necessary medications you must have with you for the evening/morning
