Summer Camp Packing List
Use your common sense about how much of each item to bring. Figure on enough clothing for one week. ONE opportunity to wash clothes will be available on Sunday, after one week ends, and the next begins.
Bring an inexpensive bolo or "generic" neckerchief. The Troop 267 embroidered neckerchiefs are too expensive to bring (and lose!)
Uniforms will be worn EVERY day at flag raising/lowering and mealtime. Change out of your uniform, into regular shorts and T-shirts every day.
Do NOT bring fireworks, cash (other than on the list, below) axes, electronics (walkman, gameboy, GPS units, walkie-talkies, etc.), and squirt guns.
Pack in a large canvass duffel bag - NOT in a backback. Only bring a backpack if you are taking the backpacking merit badge.
Orienteering compass is optional UNLESS you are taking 2nd class, 1st class or Orienteering merit badge. Then it is necessary.
