Splashdown is an annual water activity weekend for Scouts from across Sheffield. There are loads of activities to do including canoeing, raft building and raft racing, windsurfing, archery, mountain biking plus football, cricket and a big disco on Saturday night. We will be camping right on the banks of Rother Valley Country Park and we will be camping and cooking as a group, not in patrols. This weekend is a lot of fun so don't miss out!    canoer

Transport / Arriving / Leaving:
You need to make your own way to and from Splashdown. When you get to Rother Valley the scout campsite is signposted – you will need to find our group amongst the tents (we don’t know where we will be!). Look for one of the Land Rovers! You should arrive in uniform. Please arrive between 7pm and 7.15pm (not before) on the Friday at Rother Valley and arrange to be collected on the Sunday at 3pm.  You then need to meet us at the scout room at 4:30pm to unload the kit.
