When 
packing please remember that it’ll most likely be cold and wet and its best if you only pack old clothes! Even in the Summer it is still cold at night. Scouts should pack their own bag (supervised ideally) so they know where to find their torch/mess tin etc. once it is dark! Some items on the list are season dependent and those in bold are essential.
Kit will vary due to the different type of camps. Clothes that dry quickly are the best to pack.
For some activities items are required per team and not per individual (i.e. Compass/First Aid Kit/Cooker/Map cover)this will be advised in advance.
