    • The leader will play a song, and buddy groups are to walk around the space. When the music turns off, the buddies need to head to an item they need to take on the camping trip.
    • Cub Scouts should go to the same item as their buddy. If the buddies do not go to the same item, they are out.
    • Ask the buddies if the item is a Cub Scout Essential or an additional camping item. If the buddies do not answer correctly, they are out.
    • If the buddies choose an item that is not a camping item, they are out.
    • The leader will turn the music back on, and the game continues.
    • The last set of buddies standing wins
