Gear Guide
Each year, Troop 1099 schedules eight “dump” camping outings, two backpacking outings, as well as a week-long summer camp each June. The gear requirements for each type of outing differ somewhat. Much of your backpacking gear will also be perfect for dump camping, however some things that you take dump camping are not going to be right for backpacking. For backpacking, size and weight need to be as small as possible since you have to carry all of your gear.
