Static Camp Kit List
Every scout is expected to pack the following items for a static camp.
You will need to prepare a decent backpack (70L) to hold everything,
and wear full uniform to and from camp (unless told otherwise).
1. Navigation (map and compass)
Camp equipment
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.
Don’t spend a lot of money on kit.
