There will be a total of 33 Scouts and 7 leaders travelling.
We will be travelling in full uniform so it is advisable to wear your hiking boots. You must have the correct gear to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable camp.
Some people have asked about survival bag, these are available in most camping shops, e.g. -> Scout Shop We will be spending one night sleeping under the stars on an island, with no tent so the survival bag is needed to ensure you are warm and dry.
It is also a good idea to have spare neckerchief(s). If you have any questions or think of anything that needs to be added to the list, let us know. It is essential that you have all the gear, please do not forget anything.
Full Uniform (Neckerchief, Scout Shirt, Scout Trousers, Belt, Dark Shoes)

We will do the usual procedure with phones. Phones will be handed up to leaders at the start of camp. You will all be too busy doing amazing activities to use them anyway! Scouts can then use their phones every second day.
