Camps & Events

Camps, sleepovers, and special events are some of the most exciting parts of Scouting. They give young people the chance to try new things, build independence, and experience adventure in a safe, supportive environment.

Camps

Depending on the section, camps may include:

• Squirrels & Beavers: one‑night sleepovers or indoor camps

• Cubs: weekend camps with outdoor activities

• Scouts: longer camps, expedition‑style activities, and more advanced skills

Camps are carefully planned and run by trained leaders, with full risk assessments and safeguarding procedures in place.

What Young People Learn

Camps help build:

• Confidence and resilience

• Teamwork and leadership

• Practical outdoor skills

• Independence and responsibility

• A sense of achievement

For many young people, camp is the highlight of their Scouting year.

Group Events

Throughout the year, we also take part in:

• District and county events

• Parades and community celebrations

• Fundraising activities

• Skills days and activity weekends

• Group fun days and family events

These events bring sections together and help young people feel part of the wider Scouting community.
