For our Group Camp this May we will be joining other Scout Groups from Barnet at our District ‘Through the Decades‘ camp at Gilwell Park, Chingford – the HQ of Scouts in the UK.
Over the weekend you’ll have the chance to try out lots of activities including Climbing, Crate Stacking, Fencing, Low Ropes and High Ropes, Raft Building, Aeroball, Pedal Go Carts, Crafts and Archery to name a few!! There will be separate Silent Discos for Cubs and Scouts, a Camp Fire and a Parade of the Decades – with each Scout Group representing a decade from HM The Queen’s reign.
All meals will be provided for the Scouts on this occasion – no Patrol cooking but you will be helping our central Cook Team to prep meals, serve and wash-up after! You will be sleeping in tents – which you’ll need to pitch when you arrive on Friday.
The cost for this camp, which is subsidised by our group, is £40. A £10 deposit is requested by 30th March and the balance of £30 by 6th May.
Gilwell Park is approximately a 30 minute drive from Whetstone, with the closest train station being Chingford on the Overground. When you sign up to camp you’ll be asked a few questions re transport to help us work out if we need to arrange some group transport. If you are able to get there and back yourself, and possibly offer a friend a lift, that would really help.
Please remember that as a group we have money set aside to ensure that no young person misses out on any of the opportunities that Scouting has to offer. If you want to attend camp but the cost is a barrier, you can speak to any Leader or email our Chairman Richard Charles, Chair@thescouthut.org.uk. We know asking for help isn’t easy so we’re trying to make it as simple as we can, there are no forms to fill in and you won’t be asked to make any repayments.
