One thing I can tell you from experience: You’ll realize you forgot that essential piece of gear — flashlight batteries, can opener, propane for the stove — at the worst possible time.
Prevent camping frustrations with a comprehensive camping packing list.
And if you don’t have one, Illinois Scouter Steve Sarver has just the thing to get you started.
Steve’s camping packing list is a Word document, meaning it’s simple for you to modify as you wish.
That’s helpful, because your list for a backpacking trip this fall won’t look the same as the one for your car-camping outing this winter.
He’s included pretty much everything you might need — year-round — on this master list. So you’ll want to delete things like “a swimsuit” for your ice-fishing trip. Brr!
Take a look at Steve’s list, and let me (and him) know if anything’s missing.

When you give to Scouting, you are making it possible for young people to have extraordinary opportunities that will allow them to embrace their true potential and become the remarkable individuals they are destined to be.
