Packing Lists

A scout is prepared!  Whether at a meeting, on a campout, a hike, a backpacking trip, or a week at summer camp, a scout needs to have the proper gear.  

 

The following lists summarize the items that Troop 66 Scouts should have at each of these activities.

 

 

Troop Meetings

Troop Meetings

As with outdoor activities, it is important for every scout to be prepared for the weekly Troop meeting.  When scouts are ready for a meeting, learning and advancement run smoothly and there is more time available for fun activities.  

​

Having a small bag or backpack with the required items is a good way to keep things from getting misplaced during a meeting.  Additionally, making sure all clothing and personal items labeled with a scout's name is very important to make sure they don't get mixed up with other scout's identical items.
