What paperwork do I need?
Once you have signed up for Camp
BADX, you will receive your nights away forms.
You will need to hand them back to Jamie (Explorer Webmaster) or any leader who will then pass them on to him at your next meeting.
Can we attend without a leader?
No, this camp is supervised by the
Explorer leaders and Network members.
What do we need to bring with us?
Your basic camping equipment will be
needed. Some examples are sleeping bag, roll mat, cutlery, any
medication needed (which needs to be handed to the camp first aider),
change of clothes, torch, spare batteries, spare footwear, waterproofs,
coat, jumpers.
Can we bring mobile phones/mp3 players/games consoles etc?
Yes, but they are at the sole responsibility
of you and not the leaders, organisers or campsites responsibility.
Do we need to arrive in uniform?
Yes. You must arrive in top-half uniform
(shirt and scarf).
Should
we bring / buy / acquire / consume alcohol?
No. We have received new guidance in
May 2006 that the Scout Associations policy has changed and no alcohol
should be consumed by those under the age of 18. This guidance replaces
all previous guidance and parental consent forms that may have been in
place in the past.
Can
we
bring / buy / acquire / smoke cigarettes?
No. There will be a
strict no smoking policy at Camp BADX and anyone found with cigarettes
will have them taken off of them and their parents and leaders informed.
Do
we need to bring extra money?
No. No extra money is needed as the
cost of the camp is paid by your fee. However, you may wish to bring a
small amount to purchase things from the site.
