This camp is aimed at Patrol Leaders and Assistant Patrol Leaders, who are ready to develop their outdoor and survival skills further. We recommended those over 12 years old will get the most out of the weekend and we would expect no more than 2 Scouts per patrol in your Troop to attend. 

Come and join other PLs and APLs from groups across the County and have fun taking part in activities whilst learning leadership, team work, survival skills and camping skills. 

Every Scout will make over the weekend their own fire lighting kit too, which they will get to take home. Don’t forget to bring a container/box to put it in. A takeaway tub is ideal for this. 

Bookings

To book, visit the event page on Humberside Scouts website: https://www.humbersidescouts.org.uk/events/753/scouts-pl-apl-camp-4.

If you use the Parent Portal function of OSM, we will then share the OSM Event with your Section, to replace the need for paper health forms for the weekend. 

If you do not use the Parent Portal function of OSM, please indicate this on the online booking form and we will send you the paper forms to be completed instead. 

Troop Leaders

The cost for Leaders attending is £10.00 per person, to cover food costs for the weekend. 

Troop Leaders will be used to deliver the Programme over the weekend, as directed by the Events Team.

NAN Forms

Everyone will be camping on the permit of the Leader in Charge, so one central NAN Form will be submitted. A copy of this will be sent to the DCs/DLVs of each Troop attending. 

A list of Leaders’ names and membership numbers are required from each Troop, to complete this NAN Form. 

What to bring

A copy of the Personal and Troop Kit List will be available for downloading closer to the event. 

All food is included in the price and will be provided for the Scouts and the Leaders by the Events Team. 
Troop Leaders, please make sure you have made us aware of any allergies or dietary requirements of Scouts and Leaders attending. 

We ask that each Troop provides their PLs and APLs with the following equipment, to use and share between them.

• No tents are needed – Scouts will be in hammocks on the Friday night and Shelters on the Saturday night.
• Cooking equipment which should be at least:
  • 1 large billy
  • 1 smaller billy
  • 1 frying pan
  • Utensils

All cooking equipment should be suitable for cooking on open fires.

• Washing up bowls and cleaning supplies
• Water carrier 
• Old tarps/plastic sheets, old ropes and other suitable shelter building materials
• Hammocks – Scouts will be sleeping in these from the Friday night – please indicate on the booking form if you need these to be provided by the County. We will build shelters and sleep in these (hopefully) on the Saturday night.
• Saw to cut firewood – Training will be given on the event for anyone new to using this tool.
  No axes to be brought please.
• 2 Compasses to share between them

Any saws, brought by Troops, must only be used within a designated cutting area. The Scouts will learn the best practise for setting these up on Saturday morning, before needing to use them on Saturday afternoon.

Photographs, Videos and Audio

Throughout the weekend, Leaders will be capturing the great fun that the Scouts are having via photos, videos and audio recordings.

Parents/Carers should ensure they sign or do not sign the box on the Young Person Health Form accordingly and Troop Leaders should ensure the Events Team are made aware of any young people who cannot have their photos, videos or audio shared publicly.
