We are well into camping season now. One thing new scouts (and new leaders) often ask the first few times they go camping is “What do I need to bring?” Get the printable list below for a suggested list of personal camping gear.
There are certainly other things which could be added to this list. Take a compass and a whistle if you are going on a hike, for example. This list is really the bare minimum of personal gear you should consider bringing on a typical short-term campout.

I like the emphasis on the scout related clothing and handbook. Overall it seems like a lot of heavy equipment is to be carried and the redundancy in specifically shoes but other equipment as well will make for a very heavy pack. Notably missing are safety items. Personal first aid whistle Compass rain gear. I think the list needs some work but it’s a really good start.
