Camping Equipment

Whereas an established troop is already well-equipped, a new troop can go through a process of procuring its camping equipment as the needs arise. Stored in an equipment room, a shed, or inside a troop trailer, a troop’s camping equipment is normally classified in two ways: 1.  Basic Troop Gear – used by the entire troop

• Dining Flies
• Tents
• Drop Cloths
• Stakes
• Cordage
• Poles
• Large Cooking Items
• Tools (bow saws, hand axes, shovels, etc.)
• First Aid Kit
• Water Containers

2.  Basic Patrol Gear  – assigned to individual patrols for which they’re accountable, often stored in a patrol box or bag

• Patrol-size Cooking and Cleaning Items
