Recommend Kit List: Summer Weekend

4 Night Camp (Updated for Summer Camp 2024)

ESSENTIAL CLOTHING

• Scout Scarf - Wear on Arrival

• Uniform Shirt (packed – don’t need to wear it on arrival)

• 4 complete sets of clothes: 

  • Shirt

  • Jumper

  • Trousers (not jeans, which are useless in wet weather)

  • Shorts

• Underwear (one set per day)

• Waterproofs (both tops and trousers – these should look “shiny” and not just be “quick-drying”. Without suitable waterproofs, your child will not be able to take part in some activities – the risk of hypothermia is too great)

• Swimming costume/shorts

SLEEPING KIT

• Sleeping Bag

• Sleeping Mat

• Pyjamas
