KIT LIST & TIPS FOR GROUP
CAMP · Please make sure that everything is marked with your name. · It is better for you to pack your own
kit, so that you know where everything is, as Leaders do not like having to
go through bags looking for wash kit, sweatshirts, etc. · When packing kit, it is a good idea
to place similar items (for example socks, water activities clothing) in
separate plastic bags, making them easier to find and helps to keep the bag
tidy during the camp. · When on camp do not empty out your
kit, as it will end up put in someone else’s bag by mistake. · If you have a brother or sister on
camp you will need your own kit, as they may not be on the same activity. · Please do not bring any high energy drinks or
sweets. If they are found in your
possession they will be confiscated and returned to your parents at the end
of camp. · Please use a soft bag for kit, they
will squash up in a tent, please do not use a suitcase as they takes up too
much room. A good tip on the amount of clothes to pack is allow one set of
clothes for each day and one spare set. PLEASE NOTE - mobile phones (Explorers can bring
phones but will be unable to charge them and they will be responsible for
them), pen knifes, alcohol, etc are not allowed on camp and will be
confiscated by Leaders if found, they will be given back to parents/guardians/carers
at the end of the camp. All activities will be run in
accordance with the Scout Association Safety Rules. No responsibility for personal equipment,
clothing and effects can be accepted by the Leaders and the Scout Association
does not provide automatic insurance cover in respect of such items. |
