Packing clothes by day in plastic bags can be helpful in case of rain. SImilarly sleeping bags should be packed inside rucksack in a plastic bag if possible to ensure that they remain dry.
Medications should be packed in clear plastic bags labelled with the child’s name and presented to leaders at the time of drop off along with the medications management form.
This list is to help prepare first time cubs for camp but is not exhaustive. Items which the children may usually have at bedtime such as a teddy bear are welcomed provided they fit comfortably within the rucksack.
All normal scout rules apply, therefore we ask that unnecessary valuables and all electronic items be left at home.

The second payment of €150 for annual camp is now overdue. The final payment of €130 is due for payment on 9th June. Could all participants please bring second payments to scout leaders ASAP if you have not already done so. If you have any queries or concerns please contact the scout leaders.
