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. Click below for a description of a trip to the Youth Hostel in Manorbier in 2003.

Scouts can also go on an annual week long summer camp during the school summer holidays. In 2004 a group of Scouts went to Jersey for a week, and this summer 29 Explorers, Scouts and Leaders went to Canada for two weeks.

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 Andrew Nesbitt Group Scout Leader if you would be willing to consider helping out in this way.
