Uses of a sleeping bag

 

Sleeping bags have moved on  quite a bit from my early days with lighter weight materials, higher insulation to trap and keep the heat in for a cozy nights sleep under the stars.

Given the youngest members of the scout family sleep under supervision indoors but otherwise in a tent, the groundsheet is clean enough to allow the sleeping bag to rest upon that allows it to be a function as a rug for lying reading a book or just having fun before the organized activities begin.
