Camp Kit List

Summer Camp Kit List

The Group provides all the non-personal camp equipment, tents, groundsheets, cooking utensils, etc.

The following is a suggestion when packing for camp.

You can buy these items anywhere you choose.

All personal kit MUST be marked with your Beaver/Cub/Scout/Explorers name to prevent loss and to identify items such as plates when washing up.

Please place clothing in plastic bags or dry bags to prevent getting things wet if it rains.
