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.
