This will be a brilliant camp which will see Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and adults from most of the Scout Groups in Nuneaton District camping together for a weekend of fun and activities.
Activities may include zip wire, pedal karts, archery, shooting, abseiling, climbing, kayaking , rafting and much more.

Parents will need to arrange transport to and from Willesley Scout Camp which is in Leicestershire. If this is going to be a challenge you can book a place on a minibus from the Scout Hut for £5. There are limited spaces so please get in touch with Andy to book a place.
We are also looking for a number of parents who would like to join us for the weekend to help us with catering, activities and supervising the youngsters as our leadership team will be at full stretch helping to provide the many activities during the weekend. The cost for parent volunteers is just £15 to cover food & camp fees costs only. Please speak to Andy for more information.
Who?
This camp is open to all members of the Group.
How do I book on?
Please fill out the permission form and make a BACS payment as normal.
Activity payments
We are currently not able to accept any cash payments. Our preferred method of payments are via bank (BACS) transfer. If you cannot do a bank transfer we do have an alternative cash free method available if necessary.
