Latest: If you are heading to camp you may need our joining instructions

We have decided that a fitting way to mark our 50 years is to have week long camp open to all sections.

When? It will run from Saturday 24th July to Saturday 31st July. The Cub, Scout & Explorer sections will be attending for the full week, but the Leaders realise that this may be too much for some of the younger Cubs and so, as in previous years, we will also be offering a mini Cub camp (Saturday 24th July – Wednesday 28th July). Beavers and their families are invited to join us for their own mini camp from Sunday 25th July – Wednesday 28th July although all Beavers must bring at least one parent/guardian to camp.

Where? We will be camping at Phasels Wood Camp Site near Kings Langley

How do we get there? Directions to the site are available on the Phasels Wood website. You may decide to car share although the group is not coordinating that part of camp.

Who is organising things? It is a big job to organise a group camp so we're grateful to Raksha (Nicky Morgan) for volunteering to take on this important task. She is assisted by Mang (Neil Coles) who is experienced in organising our popular Cub summer camps. If you need to get in touch, you can e-mail them using their pack names (Raksha or Mang) @2ndbracknell.co.uk.
Sorting out the activities is one thing but camp won't function without food. Catering for over 100 people would be tricky in a well equipped kitchen so doing it in the middle of a field is no easy task. Regular campers will be pleased to hear that we've persuaded Marian Carter to once again lead our kitchen team - SMICCTSO. Her team will include Lesley Ferrington and Allan Coles. We'll be operating two sittings for most meals to split the numbers. We need to have your health forms in plenty of time so that the team can make sure that your dietary needs are catered for in the menu.

Rules for adults: We will have a number of extra adults who are not regular helpers or leaders. We're pleased to have you along but have published some rules for adults to help you get through the week. All adults on site need to have completed and returned a health form before camp.

Jubilee fun day: We have designated Wednesday 28 July as our Jubilee Fun Day. Things will start at 2pm with a series of games and activities run by each section from making twists to circus skills and mini-Olympics. At 4.30pm there will be a presentation by the Group Executive Committee. The Fellowship will then be running a barbecue from 5pm and this will be followed by a camp fire for the whole group. We anticipate that the evening will finish at 10pm. Everybody is welcome to come to the fun day but there is a £4 charge to cover camp fees and the barbecue.
