This check list is for gear needed by Scouts / Ventures for Day Hike events. Patrol gear listed is supplied by the Scout Group.
Note: To help ensure safety of hikers there are gear checks before hikes start, so we ask parents/guardians to wait at drop-off point until they are complete. * items are MUST haves. Hikers with missing gear will not be allowed participate in the event. Tops and trousers must NOT be cotton. Tops should be quick dry, and trousers should ideally be cargo style hiking pants. For winter/cold weather hikes items marked (w) should be doubled up.
