NOTE: The following list is not meant to be all-inclusive, but a minimum suggested list

  • Medical Form (age 11-39 Class II, Age 40+ Class III)
  • Scout Uniform (Class A) and troop t-shirt
  • Plenty of Socks, Shorts, Underwear, T-shirts (I recommend at least one change of clothes for each day, two or three additional t-shirts, and some extra socks.)
  • For Adventure Valley, I recommend going to a thrift store and purchasing a pair of shorts and t-shirt that can be thrown away after use.  They will be extremely dirty.
  • Shoes/ Boots (water shoes or something that can get wet, plus one additional pair)
  • Scout Cap/Hat
  • Sunglasses
  • Pajamas (some type of sleep clothes)
  • Laundry Bag (A mesh bag is really good to let the clothes air out and dry).  Walmart has some.
  • Long Sleeve Shirt and Long Pants
  • Sleeping Bag or Bed Roll (I also recommend a twin sheet for the bed), a warm weather sleeping bag or fleece liner sleeping bag is great.
  • Pillow
  • Raingear/Jacket
  • Towels (2 or 3)
  • Washcloth (2 or 3)
  • Soap/Shampoo
  • Toothpaste/Toothbrush
  • Deodorant
  • Flashlight (with one set of extra batteries)
  • Pocket Knife/Totin’ Chip
  • Insect Repellent (Non-aerosol)
  • Swim Trunks
  • Sunscreen (Non-aerosol)
  • Boy Scout Handbook
  • Notebook/ pens/ pencils
  • Bible/ prayer book
  • Work Gloves
  • Water Bottle
  • Merit Badge Books and worksheets
  • Small (Day use) backpack
  • Footlocker (Walmart has a hard plastic one that will keep things dry and you can use a lock on it) or large bag/suitcase for all of the gear
