Kit List
How to prepare for camp:
Make sure you have submitted your consent form and fees beforehand.
Kit List:
This list has been made specifically for a scout in mind. There are three basic sets of items that combine to cater for most of our activities. Additional items may be added from time to time. We will review this list again soon.
The essentials for all trips:
1. Day pack (with 2L water and lunch)
2. Good hiking boots / sports shoes
3. Activity T-shirts (or dry fit t-shirt)
4. Waterproof clothes
5. Jacket for seasonal weather (Fleece in cold weather)
6. Hat / Sun hat
7. Personal first aid kit
8. Torch + extra batteries (headlamp recommended)
9. Scout pen knife
10. Note pad and pen
11. Map and compass
12. Snacks / energy food

14. Sunscreen - 30 SPF at least
15. Sunglasses
16. Cash - $100
17. Octopus - $100
18. Whistle
Basic Add-ons for Wild camps:
You will be asked to collect and return equipment for each camp so make sure you look after it. We will have to charge for damaged or lost items. On all camps you should save enough room in your backpack to hold extra items like a tent, cooking stove etc. It is up to your Patrol Leader to make sure items are distributed fairly.
Do not bring
Do not bring electronics of any kind such as phone, MP3 players or portable video games (unless told otherwise)
Notes
Everything you bring, you have to carry and it quickly fills up the tent. Travel light!
Some items are optional or a matter of personal preference.
Use judgement and common sense.
Old, comfortable, durable clothes are stressed.
‘If in doubt, leave it out.’
Pack your own backpack so you know where everything is. ‘Use first – top; use last – bottom.’ Soft things ‘outside,’ hard things ‘inside.’ Maximum weight, including backpack: 12kg (26lbs).
Don’t spend a lot of money on kit.
