It's just 2 more sleeps until we are off on our annual week long group summer camp. There was an information sheet for parents sent home with the permission to camp forms, Scouts and Explorers should have returned these by now.
Camping is a big part of why children enjoy coming to Scouts. In order to ensure that we get the best start to this year's camping adventure for our Scouts, we need parents to pay particular attention to the following advice;
- Scouts must travel in Uniform.
- Please ensure that we have all medicines and they are on the Medicines Form. If Scouts self administer, check they have what they need to last the week.
- No food and drink is to be consumed during travel in the minibuses or within the sleeping tents. Only provide your Scout with a packed lunch, suitable for the Saturday lunchtime. Please do not provide any additional food and drink, such as sweets, crisps, biscuits or chocolate and pop beyond this, it's not needed.
- Ensure that your Scout has correctly fitting waterproof shoes/boots suitable for walking in, along with a waterproof jacket (bottoms if they have them). Hopefully the Scouts will need to put suncream on and a sunhat at some point during the week, so check those items are in their day sack.
- Label all personal equipment clearly with names or initials.
We've planned a packed programme of fun, frolics, with lots of exciting activities, as well as great days away from camp for the 30 Scouts aged between 8 and 15 this year. I'm convinced that they will all have a fantastic camping experience and fun holiday. Your cooperation in preparing your child for this adventure is vital and would be greatly appreciated by all the leaders.
If you have any queries please contact myself or Ian.
Kind Regards and Thank You.
Ed.
