Raft Regatta March 12-14th, 2021

By
Meet at the Hall at 6:30pm to travel down to Nangiloc together. (A map will be posted when i can find the link.) Parents and Carers collect Scouts from the same camp site on Sunday at Lunch time for flag break and to assist with pack up. Parents are then required to return to the hall to assist with unpacking the trailer.

Scouts need to bring:
  • Swag/sleeping bag/pillow/stretcher or mat.
  • Dilly bag/ Mess kit with plate/bowl/cup/cutlery/tea towel
  • camp chair
  • 2+ pairs of enclosed shoes; 1 pair to wear in the river, 1 pair to keep for dry. (you will not want wet feet all day.) NO THONGS
  • 2 hats with wide brims, just in case you lose one in the river.
  • 2 sets of dry clothes, including warm clothes for night. Clothes need to be old as will not return home in the same state.
  • plastic bags to put wet clothes and shoes in;
  • towel to dry off with;
  • Water bottle - fresh water provided
  • torch;
  • Sunscreen - Parents make sure you have spoken to your Scout about being sun smart. Leaders will remind and prompt scouts to apply sunscreen but it is up to each scout to make sure they actually apply it. Scouts will not be allowed on rafts without a hat.
  • Snacks for the weekend, but don't bring sweets with small individual wrappers as they get lost in the river. *** This is a Nut Free Camp***
  • No devices- there is no responsibility for them if they are brought to camp and damaged or lost;
  • No aerosols please
It was decided at Scouts tonight that due to the number of younger scouts attending, the troop will cater for the weekend's camp instead. Meals will be basic, so please comment below any food allergies and please update your Ooperoo files.
If you have any questions, please comment below and we will do our best to answer them. Thanks.

We (the Scout Leaders) are asking for 2 parents from each Troop to stay on-site from 1pm until the camp is fully dismantled and all trailers are packed and ready to roll out.
