Basically just colored pencils in the colors that the maps are printed on (black, blue, green, red, brown, and purple) because you may be using these to make a map

Some of the practice tests I found on the Internet had electronic maps included. Others referenced specific maps that you can get from places like USGS and Amazon, but those would cost money.

Thanks so much!

Normally you will not know which AAA map you will be needing each year until the actual invitationals / competitions.

I suppose it means colored pencils or whatever you prefer for color. They recently implimented the use of colors on the map drawing portions, and it'd be good to always have a few common colors on you: Blue, Green, Red, Brown, Yellow, Purple (for photorevisions). I don't think you'd need anything beyond that.

In checking the schedule of events for next year's SO Summer Institute, one of my former Olympians saw that Road Scholar is not listed as one of the scheduled events for 2020-21. Anyone hear about this?

That is strange. My best guess for replacement is Awesome Aquifers, which is an interesting choice.
