There's another built in tent option there. Ask your group or Area Service Team if they have any tents to lend. Many groups have spares for just that reason and they may have a few models to try. We don't want families bowing out because they have to purchase gear.

Thanks! Just to clarify, I'm helping with the Beavers this year, but will be moving to the Cubs next year because my daughter will be swimming up. I won't be attempting to do both at the same time. Also, my role with the Scouts isn't official, I come along on the camps primarily to help my son.

That said, all 3 meet on the same night at the same place (but different parts of the building) so it makes knowing everyone and keeping up on what's happening a bit easier.

Regarding the Scouts' tents, I did have a chance to check it out what they used on our last trip out. I was bunking with another Dad in his Tarn 3, and the Scouts' have some Wanderer 2s and a couple Tarn 2s.

Also, me not owning am appropriate tent isn't preventing me from helping out at all; its more of a personal preference that I have my own space when the day is done.
