Here are some resources for Scouts and Leaders:

 

Light Weight Hiking Guide This contains complete and very practical suggestions for light weight hiking.  It was originally put together by Sydney North Region as advice for Scouts preparing for their annual Scout Hike event which is a weekend event.
Light Weight Hiking Checklist This Excel spread sheet contains a check list of gear to take on a hike.  It allows you to enter the weight of each item to help you estimate the total weight you will be carrying.  It also has some menu ideas that can be used to produce a shopping list.  This has been refined by many trips through Tasmania by Craig Rose and Steve Passmore.

Hike Procedures Check List This is a check list of tasks that need to be done by someone who will be leading a hike.  It starts from 10 weeks before the hike and lists tasks that need to be done each week prior to the hike by the activity leader.  Included are forms that are required by Scouts Australia and the relevant emergency services that need prior notification.  This is essential in the the planning for a Green Cord hike.
