Troop 91 General Personal Equipment Checklist

Troop 91 General Personal Equipment Checklist

Troop 91 always wears Class A uniforms while traveling to go camping. You must be wearing your Class A uniform when we assemble to leave for a camping trip.

The following list is a general camping list. You should be aware of any special requirements and you should check this list against the one in your Boy Scout Handbook. Read your permission slip for other items that are needed. Always check the weather report before packing. Remember to Label All Items (especially Clothing!) with YOUR NAME!

Be sure that you have eaten before the assembly time at the scout hut or that you have food to eat while traveling. When we meet at the Scout Hut you will be expected to help pack the vehicles. You will not eat while others pack for you!

Electronics: The only electronic equipment you may have in camp is a flashlight and camera. Gameboys or other electronic games and personal radios or CD players are not allowed in camp. You may have these items for the car trip to the camp-site so long as it does not disturb the driver. All songs and games must contain suitable lyrics and other material as approved by your parents. Choose your songs and games in accordance with the Scout Law ("A Scout is Clean"). Songs and games may not be shared with other Scouts (what you and your family think is appropriate may not be considered so by others). You are entirely responsible for the safety, security and welfare of your electronic equipment.
