The camp runs from Friday to Sunday 21st to 23rd October at Lees Wood camp site: http://leeswood.org.uk/ which is a lovely traditional scout camp. The weekend is open to Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers and will be an ideal opportunity for Leaders to go for their camping permit.

The plan is for Cubs and Scouts to camp whilst there is an opportunity for Beavers to attend either in the lodge on a catered basis or to camp one night either catered or self catered. 

In relation to Cubs and Scouts the plan is for all Troops and Packs to be self catered  allowing you the opportunity to prepare and deliver your own menus. 

In relation to the programme we have booked activities for Saturday 22nd October: Shooting and Archery from 1000 – 1200 and 1400-1600. Junior crossbows from 1400 to 1600. It will be the responsibility of group leaders to plan their programme incorporating hourly slots for archery, rifles and cross bows if you want to take part in those activities. Once we know who will be attending we will be able to organise allocations. I also need to know whether any of our own instructors will be available to run the sessions. 

Please look on their website for other activities which include an adventure area, pedal carts, an indoor bouldering wall, slack lines and giant games. The site is also fantastic for shelter building and they are more than happy to allow Scouts and Explorers to carry out any site service work.   

The local area is great for organising a small hike, the camp site backs onto Whippendale Woods which has an established orienteering course. There is also a course within the camp site.
