Camps & Activities
During the year we try and offer a wide range of activities to cater for all ages, abilities and interests. Not all activities are run every year, we operate a 2 year cycle with some activities offered every year. Over the course of 2 years we offer 3 expeditions, designed to become more challenging, but offering scouts all the skills required to complete the final expedition gold. Expeditions have to be completed in order, Scouts only progress when they have successfully completed each one.
