Gear
Required by New Scouts
You
should not purchase any camping equipment until
after the Crossover. This will allow you to get some
pointers from other Scouts as well as see some of the different
types of equipment in action.
This
section is to help you plan what clothing and
camping gear you will need to buy, the
approximate cost involved, and the time frame in
which the items will be required. The Troop
323 registration
fee covers the cost of the Scout's transfer fee from Webelos or
the initial BSA Registration, a Class
"B" t-shirt, Troop 323 hat, bolo, uniform
patches, and a contribution towards the Troop's
capital equipment fund.
