Scout Information

Camping Equipment

Tents & Camping Equipment

Your Scout group needs the right tent for the right conditions. If you're going to be hiking with your tent on your back then you'd probably be best with a lightweight backpacking tent, but it might be the case that you're basing your group in one area, in which case a group tent will do just the trick.

Camping Equipment and Cooking StovesCooking Equipment

One of the best things of being a Scout is going camping! Whether you're looking for ultralight camping stoves or lightweight cooking pans you've come to the right place.

Warm Outdoor Clothes for Camping

Stay warm - wear the right outdoor clothing!

It's important for you to stay warm, as you're body doesn't operate too well when the temperature falls.  Take a look at our range of discounted fleeces and insulated jackets.  Some people also like softshell jackets in the cold, as many have the benefit of being breathable yet windproof, water resistant and hard wearing.

CampingNot hotels - back to nature!

This sounds like a very obvious point, but you are going to be in the wild without amenities that we take for granted so make sure you are comfortable. Do you have a roll matt or mattress for a good nights sleep? Do you have a rucksack liner to keep your gear dry and organised? A lightweight travel towel? A head torch to see where you're going at night?! Or even walking poles to help keep up the pace whilst hiking all day long!

Outdoor Clothes and EquipmentOutdoor clothing & equipment for the right locations!

Knowing where you will be staying, the kind of weather to expect and what activities you'll be doing when you get there will help you be prepared. Will you be needing a waterproof jacket or waterproof trousers for white water rafting or rain, walking boots for hiking up a mountain or two, or even a sub-zero, ultra lightweight down sleeping bag? It's important to plan ahead as you might not have access to shops that sell the outdoro equipment you want, at such great prices!

Maps and Compasses

Do you need a map or a compass?

Many Scouts enjoy the challenge of hiking and orienteering - make sure you've got a good, accurate orienteering compass with the right information, and have an appropriate map designed for walkers - the Ordnance Survey Orange Explorer Maps are favourites with walkers.

Scouts Be Prepared when Camping

Like the Scout motto suggests: "Be Prepared"

Take what you need, and, if there is an ever so slight chance of needing a particular item of gear, take it. It's always worth being prepared for every eventuality! Visit CheapTents.com's online camping equipment shop for more ideas.
