Gear checklists for your next trip
You’re frantic. Panicked even. In exactly one hour, your troop is heading out the door on an outing — and you’re stuggling to pack. What clothes do you need to bring? How about extra gear?
No worries.
Just take a deep breath and use these handy checklists. You’ll find one for most outdoor adventures, plus insider tips from our experts and a couple of surprise things you didn’t know you needed.
Gotta read this
I’m new to Boy Scouts, and haven’t bought my gear yet. About how much will it cost ad what will I need? Should I buy from the BSA website?
no
campmor/rei
sometimes a scout store is good
check ebay, surplus stores, even thrift stores sometimes have good gear.
You don’t have to buy name brands or spend tons o money to get good gear.
shop around.
Why don’t you simply ask your SPL or Scoutmaster for a check list for the outing? Simple! Our unit posts them on our Troop’s web site and news letters.
Yes there should realize the opportunity to RSS commentary, quite simply, CMS is another on the blog.
Hey boys life, could you do a checklist for a fishing trip?
wish they had an actual check off list that could be printed for each thing
but
is so great and I’m so happy I found it
wish they had an actual check off list that could be printed for each thing
cool
I need to write this down soon
I’m putting my checklists into my PDA, with the rest of my scouting information.
i wish u could download it
it’s called a SPACEBAG TM
What if you don’t have enough room for all that clothing?
it is cool
awsome cool
Sweet! I never knew that!
Stick 1 or 2 dryer sheets in your uniform shoulder loops.
This is a good mosqito repellent
cool
that is cool
Cool
another thing you could do is: print the lists on color-coded cardstock printing paper (red for essentials, orange for warm, dark blue for cold, aqua for paddling and green for bicycling), and then laminate them. they will be durable, easy to find and recognize, and you will be able to use expo marker on them!
this is like…a campers dream come true
Print out one list, flip the page over, and print another list on the back. Now you only use up two pages of paper. Once the ink is dry get the lists laminated. Now instead of printing out a new list every time you can just use a expo marker and wipe the list off when your done Go Green!!!!
the printable versions are nice, but i wish you could print every list at once
cool it is
I love this btu they need to do moer stuf
You guys supply insightful info. And I would suggest any troop to cut and paste in to handouts to the scouts.
Now I can be a happy camper 🙂
I am always forgetting stuff after 35 years in Scouting. I probably forget these lists too. LOL
I’ do my best though.
nice
these lists arent the best. personally i think bl should have a section where we can make our own lists based on these. how about it?
happy camping! 637x
There should be a list for a rainy outing.
Every time i go camping, i look at the list. it has been so helpful
cool
These are good lists. It should be pointed out to scouts, however, that their Scout Handbook provides the basic lists — Scouts should always remember this important reference first!
ASMbiker is right, your scout book has all you need
This is so great and I’m so happy I found it
I have a friend who dosen’t know very much of anything of scouting. This data should help him know a lot more know! Thanks Boyslife!!!
I never knew that I needed some of this stuff. This has made camping a lot more fun!
it is so cool
I agree with you Upton. I have the very same problems as you do. I forget everything that I need and then I just do nothing.
Wow, This is really great! Now we don’t have to worry about not having the correct gear. Thank You So Much.
This is information is an asset. I am a very forgetful person now-a-days when it comes to packing. Now, I have nothing to worry about.
