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!
Pack your gear in a backpack (preferred) or duffel bag. Suitcases and garbage-bag packing are not permitted.
Scouts should pack their own bags.
Sleeping Gear
- Warm sleeping bag and pillow
- Air mattress/foamy/Insolite pad (self-inflating, no foot or powered pumps)
- Campfire blanket (optional)
- Sleeping hat (touque/knit cap), sleeping socks
Clothing

- 2 extra pairs of pants (avoid jeans and cotton sweatpants as they soak up the water)
