Its amazing how many people forget silly little things, so double check your kit before you pack it.

MEDICATION - If you are on any

*Notepad and pens* One of the most important items, buy a cheap pack!

Sleeping bag

2 x bin liners – Use these to pack your fieldcraft kit in before we go in the field so if its wet your clothes stay dry.

Padlock – Combination is better but if you have a padlock with keys then put the spare one in an envelope and hand it to your Detachment Commander on camp. Every year we have to use bolt cutters to open Cadets lockers after they’ve lost the only key, and the last two years weve had to do it on the first night

All jewellery and other valuables should be left at home, if you feel the need to bring a valuable to camp (e.g. Mobile telephone or iPod speakers) then ensure that you lock them away when you aren’t using them.

It is also advised that you discretely name your kit (e.g. in permanent marker on the label) in case your kit becomes confused with kit belonging to other cadets.
