Resources: Gear Lists

Here are some of our Troop gear packing lists for various types of outings, and some on-line resources for selecting gear. 

​Note on Gear: Remember that it is best for new Scouts to borrow gear before buying, so that you can see what types of gear others are using to pick the best fit for you.  Equipping Scouts can be quite expensive, but purchases can be spread out over time as your Scout gains more experience. We also encourage the donation and use of used gear from our Freecycle box whenever possible. The Troop also maintains some emergency individual gear, which we lend out. We encourage new Scouts to talk to us before buying gear.

At the bottom of this page are links to several places where you can buy good gear.

Scoutmaster Eric's Basic Gear Recommendations for New Scouts
  • You only need a few basic items to get started, borrow other gear until you decide what is best for you!
