Troop 28 Campout Packing List

Label everything with your name. The Troop has tents, so you do not need to buy one. A headlamp and hiking boots are the two purchases most worth making. Trip-specific gear (helmet, skis, life jacket) will be listed on the sign-up sheet.

Check items off as you pack. The checks stay in this browser until you clear them. Summer camp uses the Troop 28 Makajawan Packing List. The Scoutmaster or Quartermaster also uses the Troop 28 Scoutmaster Campout Packing List.
