Camping and Backpacking at Tobyhanna SP • Nov 13-15, 2026

Patrol Gear:

• Your patrol should plan meals, food buying, and tenting at the Troop meeting on November 6. Patrol Leaders: please follow up with messaging to make sure your patrol is PREPARED.

• Plan for a dutch oven dinner or dessert on Saturday night (HERE are some great ideas). The troop will bring the dutch ovens in addition to regular patrol gear

Personal Gear:

• • Make sure you bring a bag dinner for Friday (nothing messy in the cars, please). We'll have a troop snack after we arrive and set up camp.

  • Bring standard camping gear for a two-night trip.  It will probably be muddy/wet so make sure you have extra socks and shoes.  

  • It's going to be cold, nightime in the 30's, so BE PREPARED. FORECAST

    • Scout ten essentials for the hike

    • personal eating gear

    • Backpackers: bring your hiking boots and backpack if you want to get practice
