Beaver Sleepover Kit List

We will send out a detailed kit list for each overnight event which will be tailored to the activities we will be doing.

However, this is a standard kit list for a one-night Beaver Sleepover. Everything should be packed into a waterproof holdall or kit bag (please do not use bin bags or suitcases).

Please get your beaver to pack their bag so they know what they have taken and where it put.

All gear must be clearly labelled if you want to get it back.

  • Mascot (cuddly toy)
  • Uniform & neckie (to be worn for arrival and departure)
  • 3-season sleeping bag (it’s easier to unzip and cool down than be too cold in a lighter bag)
  • Roll mat
  • Pillow
  • Pyjamas / Onsie
  • Change of clothes
  • Clean underwear and socks
  • Trainers and wellies
  • Wash kit including a towel and flannel
  • Warm jumper/fleece
  • Waterproof coat
  • Unbreakable plate with a lip, bowl, mug, knife, fork and spoon. (in a shoe bag)
    • Baked bean test: Place a portion of baked beans on the plate and have your beaver turn around quickly. If the beans stay on, the plate passes the test.
  • Dish Towel
  • Torch and spare batteries
  • Carrier bag for wet/muddy clothes
  • Water Bottle
  • A sleepover mascot (Teddy)
  • Campfire Blanket (if you have one).
