The next few pages can provide you with some ideas if you are looking for new gear or just updating the equipment you have. The gear that scouts will need can be broken into four basic categories:

• Personal Gear   (including the Ten Essentials)
• Backpack
• Sleeping Bag
• Boots

Each of these items will be discussed on separate pages of this site.  Use the links above to go to the appropriate page.  The Personal Gear page also provides a checklist of items to be packed on the camping trips.

Here is our disclaimer.  While our troop does not officially endorse any specific products, most of the information included in these four sections is derived from the Boy Scout Handbook, GORP, Kelty, Inc., and REI, Inc.  Thanks to those organizations for the information they provide.
