1st Burnmoor Scout Group is well equipped with camping equipment including tents, kitchen equipment and our 5 star toilets, for our members they need to have their own personal kit too, as Santa prepares for Christmas it might be a good time to ask for some kit so you’re prepared for camping.
Here are some ideas and advice:
Sleeping Bag
There are lots of sleeping bags to chose from, we recommend a 2 or 3 season sleeping bag to keep comfortable at our camps and sleepovers.
Eurohike Youth Adventurer Sleeping Bag (2-3 season) - £24.00
Eurohike Adventurer 300 Sleeping Bag (3 season) - £35.00
Roll Mat
Roll mats are also required to sleep comfortably at camp, we would recommend a foam mat or self-inflating mat. Inflatable mattress and camp beds are not suitable for Scout camp.
Camper Self-Inflating Mat - £16.00
Rucksack
We recommend a rucksack for bring kit to camp, a 65 lire is a good size.
Hi-Gear Nepal 65 Rucksack- £25.00
Daysack
We recommend a day sack for camp big enough for waterproofs and a water bottle.
Water Proof Coat
Water proof coats are a must for camp, they are available at a huge range or prices. Here’s a couple we found:
Berghaus Kids' Stokesley 3-in-1 Jacket - £60.00
Peter Storm Kids' Lakes 3 in 1 Jacket - £38.00
Camp Blanket
After a full day of adventure we tend to sit and relax around the camp fire, a camp blanket makes this much more comfortable, can be used at night for extra warmth and is a great place to keep all the badges we collect over the years.
Other items that are on the camp kit list:
Walking boots or strong shoes
Torch
Water bottle
Don’t forget lots of outdoor stores offer discount to Scout Association members.
To give positive guidance, the 'Young People First' Code of Conduct (also known as the yellow card) sets out a code of behaviour for all adults in Scouting.
Every adult in Scouting should have a copy of the 'Young People First' Code of Conduct. It is designed so you can keep it with you at all times during Scouting activities.
All adults in Scouts follow our Code of Conduct Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. If in doubt, report it.
Do remember that you are a role model at all times, inside and outside of Scouts. You must set a good example for others to follow.
