Leaving for Goshen Scout camp tomorrow!

In my backpack (by which I mean my troop's backpack, which I've yet to return), I have now:
  • Three (3) pairs of heavy-duty khaki shorts.
  • One (1) pair of drawstring shorts (for sleeping).
  • Four (4) cotton-polyester blend T-shirts (one Goshen, one Olde Mill District Camporee, two troop).
  • One (1) emergency-backup 100%-cotton T-shirt (camo).
  • Six (6) pairs of underwear ... nah, make that seven (7), that's one a day.
  • Nine (9) pairs of socks.
  • One (1) pair of swimtrunks.
  • One (1) pair of rainpants, with detachable lowers.
  • One (1) poncho.
  • One (1) sleeping bag.
  • One (1) foam mattress pad.

  • Small notebook and pen.
  • Bridge pack of playing cards.
  • Glasses case.
  • Mess kit.
  • First-aid kit.
  • Directions to bus dropoff point.
  • Medication form (which basically says "No meds, I'm not allergic to any meds, thank you, have a nice day").
  • Backup physical form.


Before I leave, of course, I need to add:
  • Utensils. (Edit: In!)
  • Nalgene water bottle (with water, optimally). (Edit: My Nalgene won't fit – I'll have to use a smaller one.) (Edit: Both of them in!)
  • Crummy shoes for boating. (Edit: In!)
  • Toothbrush/paste. (Edit: In!)
  • Spare belt. (Edit: In!)
  • Small flashlight. (Edit: In!)
  • Towel(s). (Edit: In!)
  • Soap. (Edit: In!)


Edit: Also added:
  • Sunblock.
  • Floss.
  • Twine/string.
  • Eucerin.
  • Trail mix (Post® "Great Grains" cereal, salted almonds, and dried strawberries).
  • Cell phone.
  • Day pack.
  • 5% Deet bug repellant.


And, of course, I have to make a bag lunch and stick it in the fridge (edit: check – needs a frozen juice pouch when I take it out) (edit: taken out.) for the bus.

Packbat ... away! (For a week!)
