No mobile phones, electronic games, or other gadgets are allowed.
It is best to pack a rucksack or soft bag. Suitcases and bin bags are not appropriate. However it is a good idea to use a black bin bag as a “lining” to a rucksack to keep the clothes dry just in case the rucksack gets wet.
It will be cold at night. Please send you Cub with appropriate sleeping bag and blanket to ensure they are warm.
Pocket money the Cub Leader will tell you whether this is necessary on a particular camp.
And no sweets please – see camp FAQs.
