As you can see, everyone has their own ideas about equipment and outfitting. You might visit 50miler.com for information about tents, sleeping bags, boots, and other equipment. They also have a book called "Backpacking for Boys" which is available as a free download from the site or through their Facebook page. In our Council there is a ScoutReach program that collects and redistributes used tents and things to new Troops.
