Welcome

• 12 feet of clothesline

• several (4-6) pieces of twine

• compass

• canteen

• pocketknife (all sheath knives and switchblade knives are illegal @ camp)

• flashlight and extra batteries

• insect repellent: deep woods variety recommended (also make sure it

is a pump spray or cream. Absolutely NO AEROSOL cans are allowed

at Camp Schoellkopf.

• pens, pencils, writing paper

• bookbag / small backpack to carry your stuff in from area to area

• battery operated alarm clock not a cell phone used as an alarm clock

• backpack, duffel bag or large plastic tote with a lock

• pillow

• air mattress or foam pad (wood is hard to sleep on!)

• folding bag chair

* some scouts bring an air mattress, twin fitted sheets, blanket, etc. to create a “bed.” This

may make for more comfortable sleeping if it’s very hot at night.

You do not need the neckerchief - too hot to wear in summer. Wear this at Sunday drop off.

••• Class B Troop 85 T-shirt

• 5 T-shirts

• 5 shorts

• 2 long pants

• pair of pants and long-sleeve button-down shirt for swimming merit badge/First

Class requirements.

• 6 underwear

• 6 pairs of socks

• 1or 2 sweatshirts (it can get as low as the 40’s @ night)

• light jacket

• hiking boots or sturdy shoes

• sneakers, boat shoes for around camp

• swim trunks and beach towel

• baseball cap for keeping sun off face and deer flies out of hair

• rain gear or poncho (this is a MUST!) - a good resource is ScoutDirect.com

• wristwatch

Although the camp provides three meals per day complete with plates, cups, and utensils, sometimes there

are site snacks or cooking demos prepared ‘in-site’ by the Troop or scouts. Therefore make sure that you have:

• mess kit or plate

• fork, spoon, knife

• mug or cup (also used for beverages at camp throughout the week)

• face cloth and towel

• toothbrush and toothpaste

• dental floss

• deodorant (stick, roll-on, gel, but NO AEROSOL is allowed in camp)

• comb or brush

• plastic or cloth bag for putting dirty clothes into

• small overnight bag in which to store the above

Use your best judgement. If there are additional camping items you want to bring, then please do so, but

keep in mind that it will only make your load heavier. Spending money is also recommended. The camp has

a Trading Post with items needed for merit badges and camping. There’s also candy and snacks.

Feel free to bring a camera to document your summer camp experience. Our scrapbook would love you

for it. Perhaps you’ll be your patrol’s historian in the not-so-distant future?

• cell phones

• radios

• MP3 players, iPods

• cd players

• portable tv’s

• Handheld gaming systems (DS, DSI, 3DS, PSP, PSVita, etc.)

• any other hand-held electronic gizmos

• sheath knives or switch blades

• aerosol cans containing ANY product

• weapons of any sort

every night in the overnight containers. This is done for your safety. “Night visitors” WILL (and don’t think they won’t!) come into your tent for some snacks so DO NOT hide candy in your pack. “Night visitors” are comprised of: raccoons, possums, black bears, and the loveable and snuggly SKUNK! This is a very serious rule. I would suggest NOT bringing additional food, but if you cannot resist BE RESPONSIBLE and make sure it is taken care of before you go to bed every night.
