"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity...”

What to bring on a camp out depends on what the Troop is doing (backpacking, car camping), what the season is, etc.
Never wear cotton on backpacking trips
Remember the Scout motto: "Be Prepared!" Scouts bring rain gear even if it is not forecast to rain. See the "Scout Basic Outdoor Essentials" below
Consult the Scout Handbook for a basic guide to what to bring hiking and camping.
Troop Gear: The Troop has cooking gear, stoves, and tents the Scouts may use. Each Patrol plans the meals and brings the food and a "Patrol Box" containing the Patrol camping gear, such as stove, pots and pans, cleanup materials, etc.
Food: Typically, the Patrol plans their meals for a trip. One Scout per patrol is designated "Grub Master" and will buy the meal the Patrol has planned. For backpacking trips, Scouts bring their own food.
Here are some great resources for what to bring and wear on a camp out:

Summer Camp
Summer Camp
Summer Camp is a traditional Boy Scout Activity where Scouts have an opportunity to earn merit badges as well as learn many Scout skills and have a great week with friends. Typically, the Troop spends a week during the summer at an organized Boy Scout Camp with other Troops from the local area and around the region.

Scouts stay in two-man tents with cots, eat in a dining hall, and attend merit badge courses. There are also opportunities for older Scouts to do other things, like ropes courses, week-long backpacking or whitewater treks, and other High Adventure activities.
