SUMMARY:County Camp 2025
DESCRIPTION:The votes are in and thank you to all the Sections that took part in the vote. Our amazing young people have spoken\, and the winning theme for our 2025 County Camp is… SPACE!  \n\n\n\n23rd – 26th May 2025Join us on the bank holiday weekend and bring your whole Group and camp together (yes\, Squirrels and Beavers in tents!)\, whilst your young people enjoy a weekend jam packed with their favourite County Camp activities\, plus lots of new ones too. \n\n\n\nWe have begun sharing some initial details of the camp on the County website page including:– An outline Programme– Pricing structure– One day or one night options for Beavers and Squirrels– 50:50 option for Young Leaders (aged 14-17 years old on 23rd May 2025)– FAQs \n\n\n\nWhat do you need to do now? \n\n\n\nWe want to make this County Camp the best so far\, including offering some bigger and better activities\, both on and offsite. For the organising team to begin planning and booking these activities we need to have a good understanding how many people will be attending sooner\, rather than later.To help us with this please begin having conversations in your Sections and Groups about who is planning to attend and complete the Expression of Interest Form by 1st October 2024.To avoid duplication of data\, please designate one Leader from your Scout Group to do this.Remember this just needs to be approximate numbers at the moment but it will allow us to begin securing those bigger activities.

SUMMARY:Camp Craft 2026 (Scouts & Explorers)
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a weekend of real Scouting adventure! 🏕️🔥 \n\n\n\nOur Camp Craft Competition is back and bigger than ever\, with a renewed focus on traditional Scouting skills\, teamwork\, and camp life. From pitching the perfect campsite to cooking over open fires\, teams will battle it out across the weekend to prove they have what it takes to be true masters of camp craft. \n\n\n\nThis year’s event places a strong emphasis on practical Scouting skills\, working towards the Scouts Camper Activity Badge\, and celebrating the spirit of outdoor adventure. \n\n\n\nTeams will be challenged on everything from camp setup and cooking to fire lighting\, teamwork and performance around the campfire. Throughout the weekend\, leaders will be observing not just the results\, but how teams work together\, manage their camp\, and demonstrate safe and effective scouting skills. \n\n\n\nYou can enter more than one Scout or Explorer team from your section\, but spaces will be allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis\, so early registration is recommended. \n\n\n\nThe Challenge\n\n\n\nFrom the moment teams arrive on Friday evening\, the competition begins. \n\n\n\nTeams will create and establish their own campsite\, which will be judged on layout\, organisation and presentation. Creativity is encouraged – gateways\, signs and clearly defined camping areas all help to show team pride and identity. \n\n\n\nOn Saturday\, teams will take part in a series of Scouting Skills challenges\, earning points throughout the day by completing traditional outdoor tasks. Teams will need to plan their time carefully\, choosing which activities to complete and when\, as every challenge contributes towards their final score. Leaders will be observing campsites and teamwork throughout the day. \n\n\n\nFood plays a big part in the weekend too. Teams will prepare and cook their own meals\, including a two-course evening meal on Saturday\, which will be judged on both preparation and presentation. \n\n\n\nAs darkness falls\, everyone will gather for the campfire\, where each Scout and Explorer team will take to the stage. Teams will have at least two minutes to lead a song or perform\, and will be judged on effort\, delivery and enthusiasm– so bring your best campfire spirit! \n\n\n\nSunday morning continues the competition as teams strike camp\, demonstrating teamwork\, organisation and care for the site.
