This is what you need for a DofE expedition year 9+, these are some of the things you would need if your camping over night.
If you are not sure what to bring, always check with your leader.
Bag
For your expedition you will need a bag like a rucksack that you can wear on your shoulders to carry all your stuff. Your kit might be heavy so it needs to be comfortable and have space for everything you need.
Sleeping bag
It’s a bag where you sleep so your not on the cold hard floor. Make sure is the right size so you can keep your toes cosy.
First aid kit
In case you or someone else gets hurt and you need to help out if no one is available to help. Plasters, bandage, disinfectant wipes, tape, safety pins, long plasters.
Torch
A light for you to see at night. If you can’t see it might be because you have your eyes closed or it doesn’t work. Check if it has a fresh battery before going out.
Food
No raw food most meat and eggs milk. It would be a good idea to take pot noodle, rice meals or pasta. Breakfast bars are small and easy to carry. Mentos hard candy because they won’t melt as quickly and they give you instant energy.
Don’t forget your water bottle!
Walking shoes, waterproof coat, waterproof trousers, padded socks
So if it starts raining you can keep dry and your feet do not hurt while you are walking lots and lots.
Emergency money
It is important to have some emergency money in case you need to make an emergency phone call or if there is something unexpected that you need to deal with.
Entertainment/cards
Cards for entertainment so you don’t get bored I think you can bring a small board game but make sure it’s not too heavy.
Foldable cup/mug
Cause bringing a glass or china cup/mug is not a good Idea it’s light small and easy to put away.
Hygiene/washing things
In case you get dirty or fall or touch something gross, you can clean up also before you eat. You don’t want to get ill on your expedition!
