Bag Size - Part 1

Bula!!!

I received a question about the size of the bag for the trip.
The bag I had packed as my demonstration at the September meeting was my
World Jamboree duffel. It is 2 and 1/2 feet long and one foot high. That
is hardly an extra large duffel. It was more than adequate for what had to
be packed.

You are not required to use a duffel. If you want to use your existing hard
sided luggage, that is fine. A rolling duffel, such as those available at
Costco, works very well. You want something with about 5000 ci capacity.
My WSJ duffel is about 5500 ci.

If you elect to bring something bigger, just remember, you will have to
carry it up to 1/3 of a mile. So packing extra means more for you to carry,
and, even worse, it uses up more space in the bus storage that might mean
someone else's gear may not fit. A scout is courteous!

Please make sure you use your labels!

I can't wait!
