Hi Kev
Welcome to UKCS
There are many types of bags on the market, my best tip is to pack a wooly hat some bed socks warm slack jumper and terry jogging pants to wear.
Keep an eye on Lidl's and Aldi's they do fleece liners and for a few £ worth having in bottom of ruck sac
If you think your son is to continue in scouting I would invest a few quid in a decent bag.
I take scouts out and have a Nonock sleeping bag, it's a general purpose one and has lkept me warm in -15.
Unfortunately you get what you pay for.
You usually cannot go far wrong with named brands look for a comfort rating as close to or under zero deg c as you can.
What area are you from? someone may suggest a local stockist nearby
This company does mail order
Cheers
Brian
