All clothing items should be named to avoid loss and should be packed in a kit bag or rucksack that should also be labelled and named.
Mobile phones and other electronic devices (iPods/tablets) are not permitted as these valuable items are easily lost or damaged at camp and can cause concern to leaders and campers alike. For the same reasons we advise that jewellery and expensive watches are left at home.
