Basic Supply List:

  1. A pocketknife  (Bears & Webelos Scouts Only must have Whittling chip card)
  2. A first-aid kit
  3. Bring extra clothing to match the weather. Multiple layers are better than a single massive jacket, because layered clothing is adaptable to a wide range of temperatures.
  4. Rain gear is very important. Being wet from rain may result in hypothermia, a potentially fatal condition.
  5. Flashlight is important for finding your way in the dark.
  6. Trail food is good for maintaining your energy.
  7. Water can prevent dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
  8. Sun protection might include sunblock, sunglasses, lip balm and a wide-brimmed hat.
  9. Map and compass are probably the most important tools you can carry in case you get lost.
  10. Tent and Sleeping Bag
