Section 5 – Clothing, Equipment, and the “10 Essentials” for<br />
the Overnight – and How to Pack<br />
INDOOR TROOP GEAR<br />
For Indoor Camping, troop equipment will be relatively sparse, at least when compared to Outdoor Camping.<br />
But you will always need:<br />
• First Aid Kit and medical forms for each person going on the trip. Medical forms include small green Adult<br />
Emergency Information and Authorization for Treatment cards for each adult and Automobile<br />
Transportation and Heath History forms for each girl.<br />
• Kaper Chart – So every chore/job is delegated evenly among the girls.<br />
• Appropriate container(s) for the gear; list contents <strong>of</strong> each container on the exterior so anyone can find<br />
items needed.<br />
Be sure to:<br />
• Mark everything with troop number or girl’s name<br />
• How much you bring depends on the length <strong>of</strong> the event, the location, activities being provided and the<br />
experience level <strong>of</strong> the troop. Know what the location provides so you can be ready.<br />
• Remember to bring items you will need for program activities: bug boxes, paints or craft items, magnets,<br />
guide books, etc.<br />
• Many troops have a craft box filled with miscellaneous materials for the girls to work on if there is “down<br />
time.” Include things like lanyard “lacing” in various colors with clasps or rings (and instruction), beading<br />
materials, construction paper, scissors, glue, markers, and anything related to activities planned for the<br />
outing.<br />
