What to bring and rules for camping

Hallo liebe Pfadfinder,

Pfadfinder 8 years and up should be encouraged to do all their own packing (especially if we are sleeping overnight at our hall) as this is a great learning opportunity!

You can download the Pfadfinder printable packing list for your child to use, to tick off items as they pack. Alternatively, here is the list, below.

  • Hut und Sonnenkreme
  • Pfadfinderdecke (wer hat)

  1. Ein Pfadfinder verletzt absichtlich jemand anderen.
  2. Ein Pfadfinder trennt sich ohne Erwachsenen von der Gruppe.
  3. Ein Pfadfinder hat Heimweh.

Adult help requested:

The leaders would love to be supported in the following areas (especially if you will be leaving your child with us for the weekend, without you being there):

  • equipment loading (Friday) / stowing (Sunday night) at the hall
  • supplying a casserole or potato salad (say), or even a cake for our afternoon tea (with extra-large slices for leaders!!)
  • if the camp is nearby, why not volunteer to come out and help in the camp kitchen for one of the meals
  • all help and support is greatly appreciated. Our leaders are all volunteers.
