District Camp - Details

For those who didn't attend this week, Ardsley will be taking part in this year’s Fitzwilliam District Camp, which will take place at Silverwood Scout Camp from Friday 20 – Sunday 22 June. The theme of the camp will be The Olympics and we will be attending as Italy – ‘cos they have the best food.

The camp is open to all Cubs and Scouts. (Beavers can attend as day visitors on the Saturday – they will be receiving a separate letter about this.)

The cost of the camp is £20, which will cover food, activities and a camp badge. Additional spending money is not required.

To reduce costs we will not be providing transport to and from camp, rather it will be up to parents to arrange drop off and pick up at Silverwood, which is on the A628 between Dodworth and Silkstone.

Drop off will be between 7 – 8pm on the Friday night. Pick up will be at 4pm on the Sunday.

Campers will require: a sleeping bag; carrymat or bivvy bag; towel; personal washing gear; tea-towel; activity wear (i.e., clothes/footwear that can get wet/dirty); at least one complete change of clothes; jumper or fleece for evenings; cagoule; plate, dish & mug (preferably unbreakable); knife, fork & spoon; torch; and a rucksack or holdall to put it all in. You will be expected to arrive at camp in FULL UNIFORM, no exceptions. Please make sure all items are named, assuming you want to see them again! No mobile phones – leaders will provide a contact number for emergencies.

If you missed out on getting a letter this week, be sure to ask for one next week.

Closing date is 5th June. £5 deposit to secure your place.
