Big Adventure Camp, 1 - 3 July 2011

For the benefit of those who weren't able to make it to one of our Big Adventure briefings, here are the key points:-

What is it? - A massive camp to celebrate the merger of the three Barnsley Districts. Well over 1000 Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers are expected to take part. The camp starts on Friday evening (1 July) and runs to Sunday afternoon (3 July) at Silverwood Scout Camp, near Silkstone.

What's happening? - The camp starts on the Friday evening with a 'Beach Party', a massive Wide Game in the woods, and a Disco. On the Saturday there will be four programme zones: Adventure; Community; Creative; and Scouting Skills, followed by a Barnsley's Got Talent competition. On the Sunday morning there will be an Olypmic-themed competition.

Who Can Go? - Cubs, Scouts and Explorers can camp for the whole weekend. Beavers can go for the Saturday only, or camp for the whole weekend with their parents in a designated area. Any parents who would like to come can take part/help out can camp in a designated over-18s area. Any brothers and sisters of members of the Group can take part, provided they are under parental supervision.

What does it cost? - For all youth members camping for the weekend the cost is £35. For Beavers coming for the Saturday only the cost is £15. For adults camping for the weekend the cost is £15. For any brothers or sisters (non-members) camping for the weekend the cost is £35, unless they are under 6 years old, in which case the cost is £10.

When do you need to know? - We need your booking form and payment by the end of May.
