Camp Equipment
As troops progress in outdoor living, it becomes more and more practical for them to own their own camping equipment. It will
be readily available, and girls will be familiar with its use and care. Large items, like tents will take long-range planning and careful
budgeting. Families could help with small items at a “camping shower,” when extra utensils or gadgets from home are donated
to the troop. The next time your troop wants to “make something,” try a camp�re toaster, nest of kettles, stu� bag, patrol box, etc.
If you borrow camp equipment from family or friends, be prepared to return it clean and in good condition. Be prepared to replace
lost items promptly or pay for any necessary repairs. You might consider renting equipment from a local camping equipment
supplier.
