Camp Kit List
Camping has always been an important part of Scouting. It is both an enjoyable experience (in all weathers!) and a learning experience in one. For those in the Scout Movement it allows them to bring a variety of things they have been taught into practice.
In addition the campers are also learning other important ‘life’ skills such as hygiene, self discipline and responsibility. There are a variety of things to learn to enable your time at camp to go smoothly, from being able to erect the tents to starting a fire for a cup of hard earned tea. There are many more things that Scouts pick up over the years such as what to take.
See below for our suggested kit list for all our adventures.
