Camps

Going to camp is a very important part of Scout life.

Cubs and Scouts go to the main Borough Camp which is held each year at Walton Firs in Surrey normally on the first weekend in July. They can stay overnight at this camp.

Beavers can also go this Borough Camp but only during the day - they cannot stay overnight.

Scouts also go on a variety of weekend camps throughout the year - most under canvas but some trips are taken to youth hostels.

Scouts can also go on an annual week long summer camp during the school summer holidays. In 2005, 29 Explorers, Scouts and Leaders went to Canada for two weeks. In 2008, the Scouts camped with the District in the Scout Association Centenary year and visited the International Jamboree in Essex.

In 2009, the Scouts camped in Dorset and this year are going to Luxembourg for their summer camp.

Camps are always run  by Leaders but parents are very welcome to come along too. There will always be plenty for you to do! Please contact Ray Gill, Group Scout Leader if you would be willing to consider helping out in this way.
