Personal Gear

Clothes

• 2 pair, long pants: The mornings and evenings are cold
• 2 long sleeve shirts: For those mornings and evenings. The important thing is layers. Dress for 40º weather.
• 6 t-shirts: for wear'in around camp
• Activity Uniform(s) ("Class B"): You'll want these for the campwide games and to wear around camp during the week.
• Field Uniform(s) ("Class A"): Your troop needs to be in uniform for breakfast and dinner.

Tent Gear

• Sleeping Bag: for sleeping
• Toothbrush & Toothpaste: for brushing
• Toiletries: for cleain'
• Backpack: if you plan on going on an overnighter
• Ground cloth: the tent platforms are dusty, a ground cloth can help keep it clean. Also important for overnighters.
• Sleeping Pad: important for overnighters and better than sleeping on the wooden tent platforms
• Cot: better than a sleeping pad for inside the tents. Not good for overnighters.

Other Personal Gear

• 2 (at least) water bottles of at least 2 liters: At over a mile high and in a dry climate, with temperatures over 90º, it is easy to get dehydrated. Bring a water bottle with you and drink from it often.
• Pocket knife: If you have your totin' chit (or you plan to earn it at camp), bring your pocket knife. No sheath knives or blades over 3.5".
• 10 Essentials: You should always have these when camping, but they are especially important if you plan on going on an overnighter (i.e. the Clavey, wilderness overnighter, etc...)

Patrol Gear

• Patrol Flag

Troop Gear

• Troop Merit Badge book library: not necessary to have, but it can be nice to refer to the merit badge books while doing tent work or deciding what merit badge to signup for.
• Troop Flag: good to fly above your campsite, and really good to have at campwide games.
• Lantern: to provide some light for late night activities.
• ashes for ash ceremony
• Prepared troop duty roster: Your SPL can prepare this ahead of time.
