Bearskin is a lightweight self-catered competition camp. Bases are being run by Scouts for patrols of Venturers and Rovers. Patrols are to be between 4-6 people. Patrols must be either all under 18, or all 18 and over. No mixed patrols of adults and youth members. The Venturers / Rovers need to carry all their needs for the weekend in their packs to their camp-site (via a weigh-in station) on arrival. They should be aiming for no more than 20% of their body weight in their packs.(averaged over the patrol) They will be packing up each day, and carrying gear all weekend to all bases and camp. Please bring your water for the weekend. There will be some water for cooking and refills in need. Scouts need to utilise the Patrol System to the best of their ability and remember their Scout Law at all times. Sun Safe is a must - this means collared shirts and broad brim hats (not caps), no exceptions. If Scouts do not have collared shirts and hats they will miss out on activities which will disrupt the smooth running of their Patrols. All adult helpers will need to be registered as an Adult Helper and have a cleared WWCC prior to registering for camp. Please speak with your Unit or Group Leader if you need help doing this. All adults (apart from approved carers) will be assigned a role, which may include helping to deliver activities, sites & services or providing support to the event. Link to A2 if you are a parent helper https://nsw.scouts.com.au/adult-helper-application/ Cost is $40 for Scouts, Venturers and Rovers competing, and $30 for Leaders and Adult Supporters with A2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scouts registering to run bases and Venturers attending, must have approval from your leaders and Unit Council. This will be checked with your leaders before application is accepted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
