A practice Comp Camp will be held on the grounds of 1st Wentworthville Scout Hall on the Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday until early afternoon.
This is a Patrol Camp with each Patrol setting up its own campsite and cooking their own meals.
Costs are food-related only: the Scouts will be catering for themselves as a patrol.
An adult Scout Leader should be able to be in attendance from APPROXIMATELY 5 pm on the Friday afternoon to allow scouts to start setting up.
The grounds are also able to be externally lit but Scouts should bring torches for use after sunset.
Scouts should prepare for, and pack for a 2-night camp, allowing for the possibility of rain and/or cold weather.
