Camping, hiking and canoeing equipment list

Gift suggestions for Scouts of all Ages.

Ever wonder what to give a member of Scouting for Christmas, Birthday, or what equipment they will need as they progress through Scouting's many sections? Look no further! Some items may not be age appropriate this year, or even next, but the list is what a Scout would like to have on a camping, canoeing or hiking adventure. These are suggestions, it is not a checklist of required equipment!
Check with your Section Leader for more creative ideas, and on specific equipment for section activities.
For ready reference, I have included the page number and price from the 2002 - 2003 Scouts Canada Catalogue, the Spring & Summer 2000 Mountain Equipment Co-Op (MEC) Catalogue, or approximate price ( ~$ ) from another supplier.

These are Summer bags in Northwestern Ontario. Don't bother with Chain-Store Sleeping Bags rated at +18°C, they are often too bulky and/or heavy to carry, and not warm enough for outdoors.
