Troop 194 provides a lot of the essentials needed for a successful camping trip, but scouts will benefit from having their own equipment. The following is a list of essential camping gear.
Scouts who require medication must get in touch with the Scoutmaster to ensure proper storage and dispensing during camping trips. Please see Scoutmaster for more details.
