Scout Troop Camping Equipment Checklist
A printable patrol and troop equipment checklist for planning, packing, issuing, and confirming shared gear before a campout.
Bring the shared gear list to loading. Write down what’s planned and what actually goes in the trailer, including any substitutions. Use your group’s activity plan, safety guidance, and site rules to decide what belongs on the list.
Camp packing sheet
Use a row for each kit or group of items. Record the actual count after loading and write down any replacement ID.

- Check that the kits needed at arrival are complete and easy to reach.
- Record substitutions and tell the return lead what changed.
- Have the packing lead do one final vehicle and trailer sweep.
Use these prompts before packing
- Shelter and site. Check tent capacity and count the body, fly, poles, pegs, and any other parts your kits need. Check what the site already provides.
- Patrol kitchens. Match cooking kits to the menu and headcount. Check the pots, lids, utensils, food storage, and cleanup supplies. Follow the group’s process for checking cooking equipment and fuel.
- Water and sanitation. Check the site’s water plan and pack the containers, handwashing supplies, and other equipment agreed with the event lead.
- Safety and activity gear. Ask the person responsible for the activity which first-aid, communication, and program equipment is needed and who can handle it.
- Consumables. Count what goes out so you know what to replenish afterward.
For tent components, see the tent inspection guide. Bring the matching return sheet for unloading.
