One of the great traditions at our junior camps is the second-hand “Scum Bag” (name origins still a mystery!) – a treasure trove of orienteering and sports gear looking for a second life. It’s always a hit, with juniors swapping and adopting new-to-them kit that might otherwise have been left in a cupboard.

We’re now calling for donations to help restock the bag for this year’s camp at the end of August! If you have any excess orienteering tops, pants, shoes, jackets – or other sports clothing or gear – that could find love in a new home, we’d be delighted to receive them.

How to donate:

• Bring your items to next weekend’s events in Launceston, or
• Arrange collection with Alison by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Let’s keep this tradition alive – it’s a fun way to see our juniors kitted out in style while giving gear a sustainable second life!
