WHAT TO BRING TO CAMP
The Boy Scout uniform builds pride. The Scoutmaster's attitude toward wearing the Boy Scout uniform will be reflected in the dress of his troop. Scouts should wear their uniform to and from camp with pride! Scouts and Scouters shall wear their Field Uniform to camp-wide flag ceremonies, as well as campfires and church services.
Every troop at camp should take a few minutes to determine if it has everything necessary for a quality program. Remember that there is no electricity in your campsite. The following is only a suggested list of items to take to camp. Consult the Scoutmaster's Handbook for a more detailed list.
