Equipment Planner Personal Equipment Planner - Personal Helpful Hints: This list contains a range of suggestions to make your camping experience enjoyable. Select items from this list according to the requirements of the camp. Consider the weight and value of each item before including it. Remember, you have to carry it. If the camp has some designated dirty / wet activities, take spare clothing and plastic bags to keep wet clothes separate. Pack their own pack (perhaps under supervision) so that they know what you have brought and where it is Pack carefully and neatly so as to save space. Distribute the weight. Think about what you may need first and make it easy to get to eg Raincoat and Torch. If you need to strap things to the outside of your pack, make sure they are well secured. You will only need ONE of some items the whole patrol eg Aerogard. Talk to your patrol members and decide who should bring what. Scouts are requested not to bring any form of electronic games, CD/MP3 players, radio’s etc. Please LABEL all items clearly with your name. 1.
