Pack Light, Be Ready

Backpacking troops should travel light with everything they need to survive and thrive at the camporee for the full weekend — from Friday night through Sunday.

  • Full camping kit: tent, sleep system, cook gear, food
  • Leave No Trace throughout
  • Coordinate with the 1926 Committee for your specific trail route

Backpacker registration is separate from standard unit registration. Contact us to inquire about backpacking spots — space fills quickly.
