Before you pack

Good packing habits make for a better camp. Keep these in mind before every trip.

Right bag for the job

Use a bag appropriate for the event and large enough to fit everything inside. Nothing should be tied to the outside where it can be damaged or lost.

Let them pack it

Young people should pack their own bags wherever possible. It builds independence and means they know where everything is when they actually need it.

Layer up for Scotland

Scotland's weather changes fast. Pack layers rather than one heavy item, and always bring waterproofs — regardless of what the forecast says.

Pack in order

Think about what you'll need first and pack it last. Waterproofs, snacks and a torch on top — sleeping bag at the bottom.

Keep clothes dry

Use waterproof bags or dry bags inside your rucksack — especially for spare clothes at outdoor camps. Wet gear makes for a miserable trip.

Medication and medical kit

Any medication must be in a clearly labelled bag and leaders must be told before the event. Some medications may need to be stored securely by a leader.
