A scout essential is one of the basic items of equipment for any scout taking part in rallies, bivouacs, camps or long field collections. The most common essential is a folding cutlery set which includes a spoon, fork and sometimes a knife. There are also models available with an additional can opener. Scout essentials are lightweight, fold down to a compact size and are made of hard-wearing materials such as stainless steel or high-quality synthetic plastic.
The scout essential is primarily used for eating in field conditions, in places where there is no access to a traditional kitchen and cutlery. Thanks to this accessory, a scout can comfortably eat a second course, soup or canned food in a relatively comfortable environment. The use of the scout essential and meniscus is also a matter of maintaining hygiene in the field.
In addition to its basic use, the scout essential can also be used in emergency situations. The essential can be used for meal preparation, fire distribution and even for basic, makeshift repairs. Many models feature practical extras such as a dirt-repellent cover and a snap hook for attaching.
A scouting essential will come in handy on any field trip, whether it's a one-day rally, a camp of several days or a campfire. Check out the scouting essentials in our range and choose the model that best suits your requirements.
