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 water activities clothing) in separate bags, making them easier to find and helps to keep the bag tidy during the camp. You can buy travel packing cubes which are ideal to do this. Make sure they have something to place their wet clothes into after they use them.

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 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.
