26. Do’s & Don’ts GENERAL Never go anywhere alone Smoking/Alcohol
Always dress for poor weather conditions.
Always meet your group leaders at the set time & place.
Be on time for your activities!

27. Do’s & Don’ts
Look after your clothing and the centre’s equipment, it is very expensive.
Do not go in to any other bedroom other than your own.
No electrical appliances to be used in the bedrooms.
Important that they get a good night’s sleep!

28. Items to Pack
Do not pack aerosol spray such as deodorants, these are not to be used in the house under any circumstances as they interfere with the fire alarm system. Roll on deodorant only please!

29. Items to Pack VALUABLE ITEMS
These will be the responsibility of the individual, so items such as mobile phones and PS vita’s will be taken at the owners risk.
Mobile phones.
Though these are a useful development in communications it is becoming increasingly clear that they can pose problems in the information that gets back to you. We have a phone that will be contactable for the whole duration. Phone the centre and they will relay a message to us. Boys who are away from home for the first time may find the first few days strange and contacting home frequently may not help the situation.
My advice would be to leave mobile phones at home.

30. Items to Pack-a rough guide with the emphasis being on old and warm!
Warm sleeping gear, including woolly hat/beanie!
Underwear and socks
Toiletries and 2 large towels
Shirts, tee-shirts (some old that can get muddy)
Trousers x 2/3 (not jeans and 1 set of waterproofs if possible)
Jerseys/Jumpers (warm)
Two pairs of trainers (one that can get wet/muddy) and/or wet/beach shoes
Modest amount of pocket money

Bin liners – to keep clothes dry and wet clothes separate
Sun hat and Sun tan lotion
Swimming costume and an old pair of shorts to go over a wetsuit
A set of Casual clothes to travel in
Small rucksack for daily use

Torch or head torch for the bivi
