Camping Equipment List for Troop 81 Scouts
The troop supplies a number of camp materials for scouts on campout. Scouts must supply certain personal camp equipment. The troop supplies tents (adult leaders must supply their own tent), and a chuck box for each patrol. The chuck box contains a stove (propane) pots and pans, and cooking equipment (spoon, spatula etc).
Each patrol will decide the patrol menu and who brings what food item. Patrols cook their own food. The troop usually supplies hot cocoa mix, Tang or lemonade dry mix, and sometimes other treats (like fruit cobbler after dinner). Scouts are responsible for most other personal equipment, including the following typical list. Summer camp is longer and may require more.
Anything you agreed to bring for your patrol (food, flags, ropes, etc).
