Well, that’s a wrap – Summer Camp 2026 is officially over, and what a camp it was. The leaders had an absolutely brilliant time, and that wouldn’t have been possible without our fantastic Scouts and the support of parents. They were a real credit to you all: polite, helpful, enthusiastic, and smiling from start to finish.

It’s been a fun‑packed few days of adventure, challenge, and memories that we hope will stay with the Scouts for many years to come. Camps like this are what Scouting is all about, and your young people made it something truly special.

We’ll be uploading more camp photos to the website over the next few days, so keep an eye on the blog Page for updates.

Thanks again for your support — enjoy the rest of the summer, and we’ll see everyone in September.

Both groups had a fantastic time Ghyll Scrambling

All the scouts made the lovely walk across the hills to Windermere and then enjoyed flame grilled burgers for tea. Camp fire is now about to commence.

Aero Ball to start the day followed by an afternoon of crag climbing and All the scouts got to the top at least once 👍🏻

Just a quick note to let you all know we have arrived at Great Tower safe and sound.

Time to start setting up camp now, and what a view from our pitch.

All

Last minute notes for camp, please can you make sure scouts wear their necker for travel on Thursday as this makes it easy for us to identify when we stop at the services .

Also please make sure scouts also bring a pack lunch for Thursday.

We have also noted a torch was not in the kits list Apologies, please make sure scouts bring one as will be needed.

Cheers

Activity Overview

Drum Hill instructors will lead the archery sessions, giving Scouts the chance to develop accuracy, confidence, and safe shooting technique. Alongside this, our leaders will run a series of wide games in parallel.

We’re Looking Forward to it.

See you Monday night.
