It has been 5 years since our last group camp and our next one is this Summer from Saturday 25thJuly to Saturday 1st August at Blacklands Farm in East Grinstead and every member is invited.
It’s a rare occasion for all section members to attend the same camp and we have arranged a fun packed and interactive camp for everyone and is not to be missed.
Everyday a new challenge will be set for our Heroes to try and defeat the Villains, plus each Section will also be doing their own on-site activities ranging from Grass sledging for Beavers, Archery/Crate Stacking for Cubs and Scouts. Everyone gets to go on the Bluebell Railway & participate in traditional Scout skills and climbing.
Cub, Scout & Explorer sections will be attending for the full week, with Beavers plus their families and some of the younger Cubs can attend the mini-camp from Saturday 25th July – Wednesday 29th July. Please note that all Beavers must bring at least one parent/guardian to camp.
Please confirm via My.SCOUT by 31st January 2015 to reserve your place. A deposit of 20% will then be required, followed by a 2nd payment of 50% on 3rd March and the balance on 30th June.
