Getting the right type of sleeping bag and what to sleep on is one  of the great mysteries of camping.

Have a look at the GoOutdoors website… there is a great page on what the best items are to go for.

Please note the following:

• The Scout Group cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to any personal effects and the Scout Association does not provide automatic insurance for such items.
• If your child requires MEDICATION while on camp please hand it in to a leader in a named container giving full details of medication required and a letter signed by the parent giving permission for one of the Leaders to administer this medication.
• All equipment and clothing must be CLEARLY MARKED with the owner’s name; using or permanent ink.
• Money may be handed to camp-leader for safety and will be given out as required. The Scout Group is otherwise not responsible for losses.
• Please do not include any electronic games, phones, radios or mp3 players etc.
• As we may have children with food ALLERGIES, please do not pack any sweets or chocolates.
• Knives, aerosols, matches, lighters and any other flammable liquid or gas must never be brought to sleepovers; these are dangerous and not necessary.
• Kit should be packed in a holdall or rucksack. It is important that there are no loose items. Line the kit bag with a plastic bag – that way if it rains your kit is not wet.
• Due to the nature of camps and activities, it is advisable to WEAR OLD CLOTHING and FOOTWEAR as there is a good chance they will get very wet, dirty and/or damaged.
• Earrings and other decorative jewellery are not recommended on sleepovers and activities.
