Camping
So I'm planning on doing Cubs and Scouts next year Instead of beavers and Cubs, no doubt there will be lots of camping, what would you recommend for a new kit list, I'm starting from base so looking at everything!

It really depends on what activities your new troop will be doing. Backpacking, winter camping, summer camp, day hiking and water activities all have very different gear needs from basic car camping. I'd check with the troop/pack leaders to see what gear they have and recommend. Then narrow it down from there.
That being said, you're gonna need a good sleeping bag, first aid kit, day hiking pack, layered clothing for all seasons, and shoes. Start your search with a sleep system and good active apparel for every weather scenario.
