Cubs in the carnival

What cubs need


During normal cub activities the cubs will require a certain amount of basic equipment.


Sleeping bag


This is the most important thing for camp. It should be nice and warm, 2 or 3 seasons, not a single season or festival sleeping bag as they are just not warm enough.


Torch


Cubs will need a torch when we go on night hikes or on camp. Most opt for an LED headtorch as the batteries last longer.


Waterproof Jacket


This is essential. A jacket to keep out the wet if we are outdoors, it doesn't need to be an expensive one, just waterproof.


Walking boots


Another essential part of a cub's kit. These keep cub's feet dry and comfortable on camp or on walks. There's nothing worse than a ruined pair of trainers or a cub with cold, wet feet. A pair of gaiters to go withe them is also a good idea.


Eating equipment


Knife, fork, spoon, plate, bowl and mug, and a tea towel. Cubs wash their own stuff, dry it and put it away ready for next time on camps.
We don't supply it as all cubs do is leave it for the leaders and cooks to wash.
