Troop 50 Camping & Backpacking Gear Lists TROOP 50 CAMPING & BACKPACKING GEAR LISTS (2019 Edition) Packing for a camping trip can be an overwhelming task. Over packing for camp is a common error, especially for first-year campers. But you also have to make sure you pack everything you will need. Following are several CAMPING TRIP GEAR LISTS. Choose the one that best matches the type of trip you will be attending and print it out. For backpacking trips, also print out LOADING A BACKPACK and BACKPACKING COMFORT TIPS. These packing lists will apply for most camping trips; however, some trips (such as canoe trips, cycling trips, caving trips, etc.) will have special packing requirements. So you should always attend the troop meetings before each trip when the details for the trip are discussed. Then you will find out about any special packing requirements for each camping trip. Please stick to the equipment and clothing on the list. It is recommended that you permanently mark your name (or initials) and troop number on all your equipment items, especially for summer camp and a camporee. Follow these packing lists and maybe you can avoid that, “Oh, no, I forgot …” scenario. THINGS NOT TO BRING ON CAMPING TRIPS ➢ Clothing with words and/or symbols not consistent with Scouting principles ➢ Televisions, stereos/radios/cassette/CD players (boom boxes), cell phones, pagers, electronic games, and other electronic devices ➢ Aerosol spray cans of any kind (including deodorant, insect repellent, hair spray, paint, etc.) ➢ Hunting and sheath knives ➢ Sling shots and other weapons ➢ Lighters ➢ Candles and candle lanterns ➢ Pressurized (liquid fueled) lanterns and equipment ➢ Heaters ➢ Gasoline, kerosene, and other liquid fuels ➢ Fireworks ➢ Guns and ammunition ➢ Paintball guns ➢ Bows and arrows ➢ Cigarettes, snuff, and other tobacco products ➢ Alcoholic beverages ➢ Illegal drugs and controlled substances TENT CAMPING – SUMMER----------------------------- Page 2 TENT CAMPING – SPRING OR FALL ---------------- Page 3 CABIN CAMPING – WINTER----------------------------- Page 4 SUMMER CAMP --------------------------------------------- Page 5 BACKPACKING – SPRING OR FALL ------------------ Page 6 LOADING A BACKPACK----------------------------------- Page 7&8 BACKPACKING COMFORT TIPS----------------------- Page 9 1 TENT CAMPING - SUMMER (warm/hot weather) CLOTHING BEDDING Hiking boots or other sturdy shoes Tent – 1 per 2 Scouts Extra sneakers or shoes Plastic ground cloth for under tent Long-sleeved shirt and/or sweatshirt Summer weight sleeping bag Blue jeans or other long pants Foam sleeping pad or air mattress Shorts & T-Shirt for sleeping Swim trunks (if swimming is planned) CAMPING GEAR Daily change of clothes: Flashlight with extra batteries and extra bulb Short-sleeved shirts, T-shirts, tank tops, etc. Mess kit (plate, bowl, and cup) Shorts Utensil kit (knife, fork, and spoon) Socks (twice as many if wet weather) Laundry bag Underwear 2 garbage bags (for storage, carrying items, etc.) OUTERWEAR Boy Scout Handbook Jacket and/or sweater Notebook and pencils or pens Hooded sweatshirt Backpack to carry everything in Poncho or raincoat and rainhat OPTIONAL ITEMS you may be glad you brought PERSONAL ITEMS Pillow or air pillow Personal First Aid Kit Blanket(s) and/or space blanket Canteen or water bottle (with water) Compass Pocket knife – NO sheath knives Metal or plastic mirror Lip balm Folding camp chair Insect repellent (NON-AEROSOL) Wooden matches in waterproof container Sunscreen and/or suntan lotion Fire starters Totin’ Chip card Nylon cord for clothesline Firem'n Chit card Clothespins Hand soap in container Toilet paper Shampoo (if showers are available) Camera, film, and extra batteries Toothbrush Hat or cap Toothpaste Shower thongs (if showers are available) Washcloth Sunglasses 2 towels Watch Deodorant (NON-AEROSOL) Spending money Comb and/or brush 2 TENT CAMPING – SPRING OR FALL (cool/cold weather) CLOTHING BEDDING Waterproof boots or winter boots Tent – 1 per 2 Scouts Extra sneakers or shoes Plastic ground cloth for under tent Sweatshirt Winter weight sleeping bag Short-sleeved shirt or T-shirt Foam sleeping pad or air mattress(air mattress Shorts NOT recommended for cold weather) Shorts & T-Shirt for sleeping Long thermal underwear (shirt and pants) CAMPING GEAR (2 pair for cold weather – 1/day & 1/night) Flashlight with extra batteries and extra bulb Daily change of clothes: Mess kit (plate, bowl, and cup) Long-sleeved shirts Utensil kit (knife, fork, and spoon) Blue jeans or other long pants Laundry bag Socks (twice as many if wet weather) 2 garbage bags (for storage, carrying items, Underwear etc.) Boy Scout Handbook OUTERWEAR Notebook and pencils or pens Winter coat with hood Backpack to carry everything in Cloth stocking cap Gloves or mittens OPTIONAL ITEMS you may be glad you brought Hooded sweatshirt Pillow or air pillow Poncho or raincoat and rainhat Sleeping bag liner, blanket(s), and/or space blanket PERSONAL ITEMS Hand Warmer packets Personal First Aid Kit Metal or plastic mirror Canteen or water bottle (with water) Compass Pocket knife – NO sheath knives Folding camp chair Lip balm Wooden matches in waterproof container Insect repellent (NON-AEROSOL) Fire starters Sunscreen and/or suntan lotion Nylon cord for clothesline Totin’ Chip card Clothespins Firem'n Chit card Toilet paper Hand soap in container Camera, film, and extra batteries Shampoo (if showers are available) Hat or cap Toothbrush Shower thongs (if showers are available) Toothpaste Sunglasses Washcloth Watch 2 towels Spending money Deodorant (NON-AEROSOL) Comb and/or brush Consider clothing and outerwear made of synthetic fabrics (Polypropylene, Thermasilk, Thermax, etc.) which transport moisture and dry quickly, unlike cotton.

  • Packing for Wilderness Travel
    Gear List & Footwear 21-day Alpine Backpacking About this List Wilderness travel means you must carry much less than you do in the regular world. Most experienced wilderness travelers will tell you that they bring about the same amount of gear on a three-day trip as they would on a three-week trip. Being comfortable on course means minimizing the weight you carry while not leaving anything necessary behind - the information below contains everything you need to strike this balance. Follow the guidelines on the list and you will be set up for success! Please bring everything on the list that is not specifically marked “optional.” This list is designed to create an ideal combination of layers for very dynamic weather conditions. Because of these variable conditions each season, students might not use all of the clothing on this list. Depending on which retailer you purchase from, you may be able to return unused items. We suggest keeping tags on new purchases until worn. Please note you don’t need to buy all name-brand clothing. You can shop at thrift stores, second-hand outdoor stores, or online discounted outdoor retailers to satisfy the clothing list. The main considerations are weight, bulk, and quality. LAYERING There are three main layers to understand about clothing for wilderness travel. Each layer serves a specific purpose and utilizes specific materials. Below are the layers and terms you will encounter when looking for outdoor gear. They are intended to be built on the previous layer(s), so that all can be worn at the same time if weather demands.

  • Personal Kit List for the Expedition to Romania
    Personal kit list for the expedition to Romania General The purchase of equipment for your expedition can be tricky and you should take extra care when putting together your personal expedition kit. Where possible keep the cost sensible and try to borrow any items that you can from your friends, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award department or Combined Cadet Force (CCF) if you have them at your school/college. Do not spend money on kit unless you really need to. Also please be cautious when seeking advice, especially from people that may not have been to Romania. Advice gleaned from other parties may be inaccurate for the season and the type of expedition that you are going to undertake. The list below is your official expedition equipment list and should be strictly adhered to. If you are in any doubt then please contact either World Challenge or Cotswold Outdoor. Below is some general advice on equipment requirements and their necessity on your expedition to Romania. What to expect from the climate in Romania and top tips for kit: Romania has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Summers can be hot from July to August. Summer temperatures are usually pleasantly warm but there can be occasional rainstorms, particularly in July. Temperatures can drop significantly at night in the hills so you will need to be well prepared for cold nights and a warm sleeping bag is therefore recommended (please refer to the sleeping bag section below for more detail). Rucksacks These can vary enormously in price and specifications. When choosing a rucksack remember that, when loaded, an uncomfortable rucksack can give you a very hard time and it can be very bad for your back so try on several models in the shop.

  • Styling by the Sea 140 Years of Beachwear
    Styling by the Sea 140 Years of Beachwear Beach Fashions in the 1930s The stock market crash on Tuesday, October 29, 1929, and the subsequent deterioration in the value of business assets over the following three years, had a devastating impact on the economies of United States and the world at large. The high flying,care-free days of the Roaring ‘20s were over and with them went the risk taking and pushing of boundaries that characterized the lives of people during the decade. The Great Depression had begun and would continue for ten years. Spending on luxuries declined as disposable cash became scarce and people grew more fiscally conservative. Concern about employment and their long term financial prospects became paramount as the atmosphere of the country became serious and sober. Businesses closed and jobs were cut by many companies due to falling demand for their products. This caused a domino effect that resulted in economic stagnation and the deep economic depression. Luckily the pleasures derived from time spent on the beach remained an affordable and welcome means of escape from the harsh realities of everyday life. The cover of the September 3, 1932 issue of The Saturday Evening Post presented above shows a rollicking image of life at the shore at the close of summer on Labor Day Weekend. The lifeguard sits calmly on his stand, eyes closed, while pretty girls preen, an amorous swain serenades his gal who is attired in the latest “beach pajamas”, boys play leapfrog, dogs bark, babies shovel sand into pales and bathers, both large and small, hold on to a rope to save them from being knocked over by waves.

  • “The Answer to Laundry in Outer Space”: the Rise and Fall of The
    Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ University of North Carolina Asheville “The Answer to Laundry in Outer Space”: The Rise and Fall of the Paper Dress in 1960s American Fashion A Senior Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History In Candidacy for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in History By Virginia Knight Asheville, North Carolina November 2014 1 A woman stands in front of a mirror in a dressing room, a sales assistant by her side. The sales assistant, with arms full of clothing and a tape measure around her neck, beams at the woman, who is looking at her reflection with a confused stare. The woman is wearing what from the front appears to be a normal, knee-length floral dress. However, the mirror behind her reveals that the “dress” is actually a flimsy sheet of paper that is taped onto the woman and leaves her back-half exposed. The caption reads: “So these are the disposable paper dresses I’ve been reading about?” This newspaper cartoon pokes fun at one of the most defining fashion trends in American history: the paper dress of the late 1960s.1 In 1966, the American Scott Paper Company created a marketing campaign where customers sent in a coupon and shipping money to receive a dress made of a cellulose material called “Dura-Weave.” The coupon came with paper towels, and what began as a way to market Scott’s paper products became a unique trend of American fashion in the late 1960s.

  • STAN STATE SWIM ATTIRE Code
    STAN STATE SWIM ATTIRE Code PROPER BATHING ATTIRE MUST BE WORN IN THE POOL. IT MUST BE: 1. Designed for swimming 2. Made of Lycra, spandex, nylon, or neoprene 3. Lined Pool patrons often ask, "Why do I have to wear proper swimwear?" HERE ARE JUST A FEW REASONS AS TO WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO ONLY WEAR POOL ATTIRE IN THE POOL. 1. Street clothes (especially cotton) can transport airborne and ultimately water borne contaminants into the pool. 2. Swimwear worn for exercising prior to using the pool is unsanitary. Soiled clothing can create an unhealthy swimming environment. 3. Lycra and Nylon are the best non-absorbent material for swimming and are the best fabrics for proper swim attire. Other absorbent materials (such as cotton) can break down in the water and cause fibers to clog filters. Any “colored” material (unless specifically made for swimming) can bleed into the pool, affecting water chemistry and balance. Cotton and similar materials can absorb the chemicals in the water, causing the water to become less effective at maintaining the proper chemical balance or may cloud the water. Please use the pictures below as a guideline.
