-The following is a basic personal packing list for 2-night Troop camps. This list should be treated as a guide - what you pack changes by the season, the weather, and length of stay. For example in the cold weather, you will want a good sleeping bag, a hat for sleeping, and snow-boots. On the other hand, for a 7-day jamboree in the summer, take shorts & sunscreen, and leave the parka at home!
