Summer Camp Packing List 2016

Dear Parent / Guardian; Each Cub/Beaver will need to have the following personal gear for the Nenagh Scouts Summer Camp:

Please do not feel that you have to buy all new gear for your child … You all have a cousin, friend or neighbour from whom you can borrow bits and pieces, once they are in correct working order.

*** EVERYTHING SHOULD BE CLEARLY MARKED WITH THE CHILD’S NAME ***

ALL MEDICINES, clearly marked with child’s name, should be handed to the Cub / Beaver Leader and fully explained (when / how to use etc.)

– 1 rucksack / large backpack (not suit case please) which can be carried on the back, large enough to carry ALL gear (children should not have multiple bags)
– 1 smaller backpack for snack / water bottle / sun cream / sun hat / etc.
– 1 warm sleeping bag (sew a fleece blanket inside if it’s not warm enough)
– 1 waterproof sleeping mat (not yoga mat or blow up mattress)
– Waterproof jacket and waterproof ‘legs’ (be prepared … it could rain all weekend!)
– Runners
– Waterproof footwear (a must!)
– INSECT REPELLENT Sun Cream
– Torch and new batteries (and spare batteries)
– Notebook and pencil / pen
– Small bag carrying non-breakable plate, bowl, cup, knife, fork, spoon
– Cubs/Beavers will travel in full uniform with neckerchief (if ‘invested’)
– Old clothes will then be worn for all other activities: Full change of clothes is needed for each day, i.e. Old clothes – No jeans please. Preferably tracksuits, T-shirts, shorts, warm fleeces, lots of extra socks, PJ’s, etc. – Hat, gloves
– Wash bag with all personal items (tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, small towel)
– A few plastic bags for wet mucky gear!
