Strange to me too. Everything in the backpack for all trips all year.

The midwest camps I’ve attended don’t “do” footlockers. It is a “funny”, to me, regional thing.  

We ask Scouts to get these at The Home Depot for around $10 for trips to summer/winter camp and other extended trips.  27 gallon size.  They stack nicely in the trailer for easy transport/access. 

Sounds great wayto go but it looks like the it would not met scouting guide for rocketry. So not an approved scout activity

Our troop uses these, about $30.  EVERYTHING needs to fit in the trunk.  They show up for camp with a trunk and a daypack for the trip to camp.  Helps with packing and moving goods to site.  Can be used in tents (camp has the 2 person platform tents), keeps things dry if they actually close it, can be a table a seat, etc.
