Camping and other outdoor activities taking place in cold weather require additional preparation and consideration. Every scout and leader should remember the acronym COLD. It stands for:
Clean: the person, their clothing, and equipment MUST BE clean
Do not Overheat: when bundled up it’s easy to do, and overheating leads to chills
Layers: numerous items of clothing/bedding are better than one
Dry: stay dry; moisture draws heat
