Thursday Scouts

10th August – 24th August   –  Gower, Wales

Book your place on THE event of the scouting year.

Our 2019 Summer Camp is Wales!  We are camping on farmland a short walk to some massive beaches. The  site is surrounded by woods so expect bivvy building (and sleeping), cooking meals on a fire, and pioneering projects in the trees.

Summer camp is the most important event of the year – all our training leads to the camp where you will be living and cooking as a patrol and most importantly, having loads of fun!  Y6’s are not to young to come – they will be almost Y7 by the time of the camp! Speak to other parents about the benefits of Summer Camp.

Who should come ?

All scouts are encouraged to attend the camp as we put into practice all the training that we do during the year and it’s also a chance to get away from mum and dad for a couple of weeks! It’s also a chance for Y6 Scouts to mix with older children before they move schools.

Summer Camp is the most important experience in Scouts – to miss it is to miss out on what being a Scout is all about.

What do we do ?

Scouts camp in Patrols and prepare and cook all meals for themselves and the leaders.  The rest of the time you can look forward to activities such as

swimming        volleyball  visits and trips     body boarding in the sea

                water slide park    rope bridges

beach activities    football     cricket     free time

How do I sign up and pay ?

You sign up and pay via MyScout in stages to spread the cost.  You also pay in spending money into the system and we operate a camp bank during the camp when you can take out small amounts to spend each day. Bookings now open!

Another Summer Camp is over 🙁

17 Scouts and Leaders camped in a field on the banks of Poole Harbour with the only facility being one tap.

The weather was scorching and much time was spent in the lagoon, swimming, canoeing, diving, on the rope swing or just cooling off. With visits to the Tank Museum, Studland beach and a Total Wipeout course, plus cooking on open fires for the weekend the Scouts had a great time.

By just doing what we do, the Scouts gained many awards which will be presented at the first meeting back.  Summer Camp is a vital part of a Scout’s progression.

Summer Camp 2016

9th April 2016 : Thursday Scouts and EXU Explorers hiked to and explored Thor’s Cave – and encountered many electric fences!

The aim was to practice new navigation and exploring and skills was shockingly good fun!  See the video  and more pics on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/20thScouts/
