To have the best experience at summer camp, be sure to pack all the essentials. Depending on the merit badges you’re working on, you might need a few additional items. Talk to your troop leaders to find out what else you should bring.
Please put your name on all of your belongings. At camp, everything looks the same. Labeling your items with your name can also help the camp staff find an items owner if it is dropped or left behind.
