Don't let the unknown steer you away!! Backpacking is one of the highlights of scouting and some of the best experiences you will have. We will discuss more about what is needed in the coming weeks and can work with you on any gear needs.
If you don't have all the gear or have questions about the gear needed, lets talk about it. There is probably something we can help with!
New to Backpacking?
Small-sized Loaner Packs
Available to Try!
For scouts who are 5 ft or less in height, the troop has small-sized loaner packs you can borrow for the trip so you can give backpacking a try without the stress of having to purchase all the gear (only to outgrow it a year later)!
Talk with an ASM if a loaner pack is something you may be interested in!
