Kit Lists

We're putting together this page at present. If there's anything you'd particularly like to see then let us know.

Much of the kit is available from the Cambridge Scout Shop, the online Scout shops (see External Links) or from Millets, Blacks or other camping shops. Millets, Blacks and Cotswolds usually offer a Scout Discount of 10% if you produce a Group Scarf.
