Camping Kit List
Scouts will need to bring their personal equipment and should be encouraged to find out for themselves from Leaders and 'Camping Standards' what is necessary and pack it themselves. This is only a guide.
​
N.B This is a kit list for a weekend camp. Quantities should be increased for week-long camps.

Please note:
-
Mobile phones are not allowed at camp due to the risk of loss and in line with our safeguarding policy. Scouts should know that they can use a leaders' phone should they need to contact a parent/guardian at any point.
-
Trousers are not allowed at camp because activities like fire lighting, hole digging, and wood collecting involve a lot of kneeling, which can easily get them damaged, dirty, or wet.
