Final Reminders for Summer Camp

I'd just like to recap on some key dates & times for those camping with us next week. We wouldn't want to leave anyone behind!

This Wednesday/Thursday, 22/23 July

Beavers, Cubs and Scouts are meeting as normal. Cubs and Scouts do not need to wear uniform this week, as we're giving you chance to get it washed and ironed ready for Saturday.

This Friday, 24 July

You need to bring your main kit bag to the Scout Hut for 7pm so we can load it onto the van. Remember do not pack your uniform, your waterproof jacket, or your packed lunch. Dads, we'd appreciate your help to load the camping equipment.

This Saturday, 25 July

We aim to leave for camp from the Scout Hut at 10am prompt. Leaders will be at the Scout Hut from 9.30am. You must wear full uniform for the journey. Bring a waterproof jacket and a packed lunch in a small day bag - this will travel with you on the bus.

If you're taking any medicines these should be handed to Janice (Kim).

Travel sickness remedies, if required, normally need to be taken an hour or so before travelling.

Week Saturday, 1 August

We expect to get back from camp at approximately 4pm. We will try and get word back if we are running early or late.

Contact Information

During the camp you can contact us - in case of emergency only please - at Downe Scout Activity Centre, Birdhouse Lane, Downe, Orpington, Kent, BR6 7LJ. Tel: 01959 572121. Ask for the Duty Warden. He/she will get a message to us as soon as possible.

We will not contact you unless there is a problem, so if you don’t hear from us everything is fine.

We do not encourage the cubs and scouts to phone home during camp as it tends to make them homesick. Please do not ask them to call you.
