Unfortunately, the Pack does NOT have equipment that can be checked out for individual Scout use during outings. Pack families will need to supply their own gear, such as tents, sleeping bags, camp chairs, etc. Proper gear and equipment are critical for safety and comfort while on Scout outings.
Scouts do not need to buy all equipment at once. This is an area where it pays to wait for sales. Pay close attention to details about equipment capabilities and quality. Inexpensive is not necessarily a bargain and expensive is not necessarily high quality.
Label all individual gear! The Scout’s name and P215 should be on each item that is brought on an outing.
