Scouts will also need the usual personal kit for a weekend camp, including waterproofs and their necker. Any electronics are brought at their own risk.

The competition will start from 7:00pm where they will be scored for the setup of their team’s camp, including their cooking area.

From 9:00pm teams will take part in The Cube/Taskmaster style challenges which will be scored. We would appreciate help facilitating these from any Leaders that are staying over too.

On Saturday morning they are expected to cook a breakfast of their choice that will be judged at 9:00am. During the day, whilst the Cub competition is running, Scout teams will be given a list of challenges they can complete independently. These will be scored and will go towards their final number of points. At 6:00pm we expect Scouts to be enjoying a two-course meal for their tea, that they have prepared and cooked. This will also be judged.

On Sunday, Scout teams will rotate around 6 challenge bases to complete their competition. Scores from the whole weekend will be added together to determine the winning team.

You can enter more than 1 team of Cubs or Scouts from your Section, but team places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Please complete and return the Entry Form by 1st May 2023. Entry fees should be sent once you have received the confirmation email from the Bookings site.

For all Young People, you will need to provide the information on the Activity Forms provided. However, this can be in your preferred format though – OSM spreadsheet or individual forms. Leaders will be responsible for holding this information for Cubs during Saturday, but we will require a copy of the Scout’s information, which should be handed in at check-in on Friday night.

Scout Leaders are welcome to camp for the weekend and we would appreciate your help running the bases. If your Scout team is attending without any Leaders, please issue the team leader with a Nights Away Passport for the event.
