Each camp will require different personal equipment to be taken, but there are some items which are common to almost all camps. Some of these could make ideal Christmas/Birthday presents so it could be a good idea to check them to see if there is anything that you might not already have. Remember, there are special rules about penknives - consult your Leader before buying, only take a knife to camp when it is on the kit list and hand it in on arrival.
