Kit list notes
Label each item of kit with your name.
Pack your kit into a rucksack or a sports bag that you can carry on your back. Furthermore, never use a suitcase as it is not suitable for a Scout activity!
Do not take anything valuable to an activity or camp. Despite our best efforts, clothing will get (very) dirty and may not even return home. Mobile phones, electronic games, radios and similar are forbidden unless otherwise advised.
All Scouts are encouraged to pack their own kit.
*Approved users are APL’s, PL’s & SPL’s who have been suitably trained in the holding, use & maintenance of a penknife.
