Merit Badges Items
Scout handbook, pen/pencil and notepad, Unfinished partial badges and merit badge
pamphlets, pocketknife.
Don't Bring
Electronic valuables, such as radios and portable game players; expensive cameras
(one-time use works well!).
How to pack it all
Check with your troop on the preferred type of pack,
but soft packs vs. footlockers are better for packing purposes.
Soft backpacks can fill voids when hard plastic cases require
plenty of stacking room. Shoulder strap packs are also easier
for scouts to carry into camp and on hikes.
In your pack, consider dividing your outfits
into plastic bags for each day of the week. They are easier to
sort and waterproof. Just like weekend camp, make sure there
are plenty of extra socks and an extra pair of shoes for when
sweat or bad weather strike.
For more information: read your Scout Handbook,
Chapter 9, which deals with Camping.
