As I prepare for our trip to Camp Pouch I go over my list of things to pack. The list is in your Scout Handbook. There are things on that list I never take out of my pack even though I've packed them with me all these years. But I think of the things I will not leave for camp without.
Extra socks. - my old Scoutmaster once said "a dry camper is a happy camper". And you can't be dry if your feet are wet or damp. I bring at least two extra pairs - on top of one pair for every day.
Hats - a wool hat and a baseball cap stay with me always. 30% of the heat that escapes your body leaves from the top of your head. Additionally the cap blocks my eyes from the sun and I use the wool hat as an eye mask when I sleep.
A cup - you need to drink and I think there is nothing grosser than having to borrow someone else's cup. I have the plastic folding one the troop gave away as gifts a few years ago. It takes up no space and I can keep hydrated.
Toilet Paper - this is the last supply you need to try to scavenge for in the middle of the night. I also keep this in a large Ziploc bag in my pack so it stays extra dry.
