The full Scout Uniform is a MUST for summer camp. It shows great scout spirit to wear your uniform to and from all scouting activities. One of the first things we do after getting to camp is Swim Checks. You may want to wear your swimsuit under your uniform to allow for a quick change.

Actual clothing quantities are up to the individual. Remember we will be away for a full week.

As you gain experience you will eventually come up with your own ideal gear list for camping. The old adage, "Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it." really does apply in this case. You should think of these lists as a good starting point and not necessarily containing everything you will possibly need while camping. You are the best judge of what you will need.

• Use a Duffel Bag instead of a Backpack for summer camp. You will not be trekking and can fit more in a duffel bag.
• Include a Day Pack or Fanny Pack for use during the day or on hikes.
• Pack your Sleeping Bag in a Stuff Sack. It will help to keep it clean and make it easier to transport.
• Eating kit - most of our meals are at the Dining Hall, but we may have a snack at the campsite.
• Money for use at the trading post. Be careful here, bring only what you think you'll need for a week. You can turn this over to an adult leader for safe keeping while in camp.
