Information for Explorers

Camp BADX is open to all Explorer Scout within Barking and Dagenham between the ages of 14-18. If you are over 18, please visit the Info. for Leaders section.

And as a bonus, Camp BADX '08 is open to all Scouts aged 13+! View the Info. for Scouts for more information.

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.

For any more information about Camp BADX, please visit the FAQ's section or contact the Explorer Webmaster.
