What to bring?
The Scouts BSA uniform builds individual and unit pride. The Scoutmaster’s attitude toward wearing the Scouts BSA uniform will be reflected in the dress of their troop. Scouts should wear their uniform to and from camp with pride! Scouts and Scouters who have their Class “A” (Field Uniform) uniform shall wear it to camp-wide flag ceremonies, as well as campfires, Mic-O-Say Ceremonies (if not in tribal attire) and religious services. Those who do not own a complete uniform should wear their Class “B”(Activity Uniform) uniform.
Remember that there is no electricity in your campsite. The following is only a suggested list of items to take to camp.

Swimming Attire (Swimsuits must be modest. For adult or youth males, tight fitting swim briefs or swim bottoms short enough to allow exposure are not allowed. For adult or youth females, bikinis are not allowed. Modest tankinis with no bare midriff or one piece swimsuits are appropriate. Participants are encouraged but not required to wear a swim or T-shirt in the pool for modesty and sun protection.)
Spending Money – Souvenirs, snacks, merit badge supplies and craft kits are available at the Osage River Trading Company. Scoutmaster will operate a “bank” to hold money for Scouts while at camp. Only small bills; Ones, Fives and Tens should be brought to camp. The Trading Post cannot easily make change for larger bills.
Do not bring valuables to camp, Bartle boxes should be clearly labeled with name on outside.
